Madison, her little sister Mackenzie, her Mother, Melissa, and her step-dad, Greg are moving from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Los Angeles, California, and although that may as well be every girls' dream, Maddie isn't too pleased. She's leaving her squad, Millie and Grace, her dance studio, DreamBigTalentCenter, and her school, where she's popular for having fantastic grades. In L.A, girls will be snobby, vain, and bratty. Maddie doesn't want to leave, but once she arrives in L.A, she knows she loves her new home.
