Description
Becoming angry at the risk Alex runs by demonstrating her strange new powers in public, Annie dares her sister to get through one whole day without using her powers. However, a shoplifter makes Alex realize that it will be harder than she thought. Now that Alex Mack has her superpowers under control, she can stop a thief in her tracks. But when she does, her sister Annie is furious! Alex risked exposing her secret power in public -- which is dangerous! So Annie offers Alex a dare she can't refuse: just try getting through one day without using her powers. It's not easy when you're a hopeless klutz. Alex can't even handle her mom's lawn sale without a humongous fall. How easy it would be to just zap things out of her way! To make matters worse, the shoplifter she caught is Rhonda Clarke, one of the most popular girls in school! Now Rhonda is determined to get even. Will Alex be able to stop her and win the bet? Can she go back to being plain, old Alex Mack?
