Luckily, her new friend, Sally, makes the snacks seem totally delicious to Mindy's new classmates, so they decide to start the Yummy Seaweed Business to try and raise money for that puppy When another student decides to try and sabotage their business, Mindy loses more than she bargained for--and wonders if she'll ever fit in.
