Abby Zoo can't sleep-again. In the Northwest Territories, the summer sun doesn't set, and her room is hot and bright. Making matters worse, there's a mosquito who won't leave her alone! She calls for her parents, but they say what they always say when she has a problem: "Just ignore it." They treat her like the mosquito-the one that's buzzing around her head.

Instead of brushing the insect off, Abby decides to put herself in its shoes. She feels herself shrink to the size of a bug. And her nose grows long and pointy. She has wings and six thin legs. Not only is she treated like a mosquito-she is a mosquito! But Abby Zoo quickly realizes mosquitos have feelings, too, and she and her new friend hatch a plan to get them the respect they deserve.
