she soon discovers that her new friend has a secret of her own. Now
Daisy and her friends must deal with chilling dreams and messages
from the beyond. Can Daisy channel the power she's always tried to
hide, before it's too late? Extra features include: A short graphic

gimmicks." -VH1's blog, The FABlife "CREEPY. I think that's the
