BARBIE DIARIES SYNOPSIS
It’s a new school year, and Barbie hopes it’s going to be totally magical! Barbie and her best friends, who play together in a band (although they haven’t played in front of an audience yet…), dream about what they hope to accomplish that year. Things get off to a rocky start when Barbie, who dreams of becoming an anchor at the school TV station, learns that not only has the position been filled by the popular Raquel, but that she has to be Raquel’s assistant! To make matters worse, Raquel is dating the boy that Barbie wishes would notice her. When the girls go out shopping, Barbie stumbles upon a special diary and a charm bracelet which – like magic – seem to turn things around for her in her life. Everything she seems to write in the diary comes true! This gives her the confidence to reach for all her dreams. Is the diary truly magical, or is there some other force at play? Find out for yourself when you unlock The Barbie Diaries on DVD!
