Annabelle Louis is a military brat, and complete nerd who has always been homeschooled, but with her mother going on assignment in Afghanistan, she is going to have to attend middle school in Linden, New Jersey; her therapist suggests she try sports to make friends, and she creates a vlog, Daphne Doesn't, in which she makes fun of all the things that she considers a waste of time (for example, sports and school)--the vlog proves to be a big hit, but when her classmates start sharing the videos, Annabelle's secret identity may be exposed.

Daphne is a hilarious, fashion-savvy, on-the-rise teen YouTube star, but at school, where Daphne is really Annabelle Louis, eighth-grade super geek, wearing the latest trends is far off her radar. Her therapist, Dr. Varma, suggests she try something new--a wardrobe makeover. Fashionable outfits bring Annabelle newfound attention, which she can't help but enjoy, but when her new popular friends start showing their true colors and making fun of others, Annabelle becomes fed up with fashion trends and popularity.

Annabelle Louis, military brat and computer nerd, embarks on her second assignment in making friends in middle school trying out for the school play where, despite what she feels is her total lack of ability, she ends up as understudy for the lead female part, and with more fuel for her popular vlog, Daphne Doesn't--but Annabelle begins to realize that being popular in secret will not mean anything if she can not share her secret with her friends.

A few months into the school year, Annabelle Louis is starting to find her place at McManus Middle School, but Annabelle's therapist, Dr. Varma, still thinks there's room for improvement in Annabelle's social life, especially since Mom will be leaving soon for an overseas assignment. Knowing there's a school dance coming up, Dr. Varma challenges Annabelle to learn how to dance, and what keeps Annabelle interested in the challenge are the hilarious videos she posts on her vlog, Daphne Doesn't, making fun of the various styles of dance she's learning. The videos are a hit, and as Daphne Doesn't goes viral around McManus Middle School and elsewhere, Annabelle's alter ego won't stay secret for long.
