Wendy cannot seem to get along with anyone, and this includes her bossy and stubborn Aunt Zelda, with whom Wendy lives. Wendy loves watching an 80's cartoon about three Sprites that get into trouble all the time. One night, Wendy's dreams come true when the three Sprites arrive in a time machine that looks like a spaceship. They say that they came to life magically and, unable to get along with the producer of their old TV show, they decided to travel to 1993 so they could live with Wendy, who is their biggest fan.

Aunt Zelda reluctantly allows the Sprites to live with her and Wendy, but Wendy and the outspoken Sprites keep getting into trouble with Aunt Zelda who is mean and cranky. All Wendy wants to do is find meaning and purpose in life, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Wendy and the Sprites realize that they have a more serious problem than Aunt Zelda on their hands when another 80's cartoon character travels to 1993 - the arch villain Wowzer. Wowzer wants to spread racist messages to children using television. Wendy finally finds purpose when she and the Sprites hatch a plan to thwart Wowzer on national TV. Can they get their lives together so they can stop Wowzer from indoctrinating the nation's children?

Filled with 80's and 90's pop culture references, this is a fun, easy-to-read book for children 8 and older, and anyone young at heart.
