Lizzie McGuire is a typical 13-year-old girl with a head full of boys and a body full of hormones. Afflicted by the usual adolescent angst, aggravated by terminal embarrassment caused by having, let's say, not the coolest parents on the block, our heroine is just like any normal girl, or maybe not. Whilst most teens have a chip on their shoulder, Lizzie has an animated alter-ego on hers a cartoon Lizzie that says all the things that the flesh and blood version would only dream of.
