During the test, Tommy struggles to correctly spell one word, and he finds himself faced with a far more important test--a test of his integrity. Will Tommy sacrifice his integrity in order to get a perfect grade, or will he do the right thing?Eleven-year-old Sandy Davis is heartbroken when one of her friends begins acting differently toward her. After receiving encouragement from her mother to pray about the situation, Sandy returns to school where she teaches others that being popular is not as important as being a true friend.
