It centers around the main character of the series Electra Brown. Electra Brown is a bit shallow.

Her dad cheats on her mom with someone else, and he winds up moving in with the other woman. Electra, at one point, decides that it is up to her to try and get her parents back together. Everyone around Electra has their own problems, but she is only worried about certain aesthetic things, like her hair, wardrobe, and makeup at a given time. She is self-absorbed.

That being said, she does have a serious side as well. She gets to the bottom of her family’s problems, and she even serves as the go to person for answers for some people. She is also interested in the handsome boys from her school, and is severely insecure about her looks, and wants the attentions of a certain boy at school. She is a classic thirteen year old in Britain.

Her friends include two girls that she goes to school with; their names are Sorrell and Lucy. Sorrell is a vegetarian against her will and buys (with her own money) a lot of meat. While Lucy lives in the perfect home and she has the perfect family and she is required by her parents to be very tidy.
