The story begins when the band sends their music demo to Ainsley Barter. He's an acting manager, but not for bands. So, he just throws their CD in the trash!
But his 9-year-old daughter, Bel, finds it. She listens to the music and loves it right away! Bel goes to the band's garage where they practice. She wants to be their manager.
At first, the band members are not sure about having a 9-year-old manager. But Bel convinces them! She tells them that the only way to get noticed by her dad is if she manages them first.
To help the band become famous, Bel often gets help from others. This includes Ainsley's assistant, SJ. Her younger brother, Ollie, also helps out. Bel's best friend, Carina, sometimes helps too. However, Carina's friendship with Bel can get a bit tricky because of all the band's activities.
