Junie B. feels frustrated that everyone still treats her like a baby when she knows she's all grown up now. She sees the perfect chance to show her maturity when her aunt announces wedding plans. Junie B. dreams of being the flower girl and proving once and for all that she's responsible and mature. Her excitement turns to crushing disappointment when she learns she won't be chosen for the special role after all. But Junie B. never gives up easily. She sets her mind to finding another way to shine at the wedding and capture everyone's attention. The question becomes whether her clever schemes will actually demonstrate the grown-up behavior she's so determined to show, or if her plans might backfire in typical Junie B. fashion.
