Synopsis
Story
10-year-old Frankie wants to be prepared for grade 6 and decides that starting a new after school club is the way to make sure he and his best friends are set up for success. Except he can’t decide what the club should be about. Maybe everything? His two best friends, wizkid Wendy and artistic scatterbrain Wonder are totally game. They’re used to Frankie’s out of the box ideas. The kids are joined by the ever-supportive Ms. Take who volunteers to be their staff advisor, Principal Robo, and cafeteria lunch lady C.L., who Frankie is quick to make an honorary club member (aka free club snacks)!
Episodes
Each episode finds the crew focused on a new theme, from board games to Olympics training to baking competitions to interior design. Literally NOTHING is off limits! And it gets even more exciting when the old painting Frankie finds in the school dumpster starts talking to them! With their know-it-all-wizard-portrait-turned-club-mascot trying to run every club meeting, Frankie, Wendy and Wonder have their hands full.
