Unfabulous is a live action television series on Nickelodeon about an "unfabulous" junior high school student, played by Emma Roberts. The show, which debuted in fall 2004, is one of the most-watched programs in the United States among children between the age of 9 and 14 and was created by Sue Rose, who previously created the animated television series Pepper Ann and Angela Anaconda.
Unfabulous' main character is 13-year-old seventh grader Addie Singer (Emma Roberts, who is also famous actress's, Julia Roberts's niece), who writes songs about her life in junior high school.
The plotlines often revolve around tensions and race relations between the students at school. Her best friends are Geena Fabiano (Malese Jow), who is into fashion and designs her own clothes and the environmentally-committed school basketball player Zach (Jordan Calloway).
They all attend Rocky Road Middle School in an unspecified East Coast city. Addie's older brother Ben (Tadhg Kelly) works at The Juice, a smoothie bar where Addie and her friends often hang out after school.
