== Plot ==
Martina ("Marty") could not be more different from her sister. Marty is a tomboy who loves animals and drawing comics which feature a character she created, Mighty Mart. Her elder sister Melissa loves the colour pink and make-up and is very feminine, Melissa does not get along with Martina. Their mum makes dresses and is a school secretary. Their dad is a travel agent who is losing most of his income because of the rise in online booking.
Marty is invited to Alisha's party just because her mum made a dress for Alisha. Her mother forces Marty to attend and makes a blue party dress. When she comes and picks her up she talks to the owner of the dancing school where the party was held. She announces that she wants her to make some costumes for the children and other parents want bridesmaids dresses. This means their mother has to expand – she needs an extra room to sew in so Marty and Melissa need to share a room. It gets decorated, although most of it is chosen by Melissa because she's eldest. At school two mean girls, Ingrid and Katie, call her bluebottle because of the dress. Marty sneaks in raw eggs and throws them resulting in some disastrous consequences. Marty invites her best friend Jaydene to look at her new room but acts like she prefers Melissa to Marty, which annoys her. When Melissa shows her friends the room, she is shocked to find Marty has trashed the room. Marty brings up some smoothies as an apology and is horrified to find out that Melissa is mocking her homemade animals. Marty embarrasses her by showing her friends Melissa's toy Baba and Melissa swears she will take revenge.
In the morning Marty can't find all her animals and as the bin men had already been, presumes that Melissa has thrown them in the bin. Marty begins to pull off Baba's limbs but as a shocked Melissa climbs up the bunk bed ladder to get to Marty, the ladder breaks and causes her to lose her grip and fall. Melissa gets taken to hospital where she is visited by Marty, who meets a young artist called Mattie. Marty and her dad return home and she finds her animals were under the bed all along. Marty sews together Baba and takes it to the hospital where Melissa is very thankful. The story ends with Marty saying how much she loves Melissa.
