Investigate the Big Question

Ambitious girl Cellita Gonzalecio sets out to have the best time of her life. She grabs her Bejewelerizer and makes an investigation chart. However, her parents are traveling to Ringerville for business, meaning Cellita, her pet dragon Partridge, and her brother Miguellito will be looked after by their Grandma Paisley. After biking with her friends, Cellita organizes a contest with them to see who can have the most exciting summer by investigating "the big question". When vacation begins, her friends leave, including Jasmine Turner, who is going to Bugaboo City. Alex Kenneth is going to Cascade Crestfalls while Norman Rockwell and Bonnie Anderson are going to join the Inventor Scouts, so Cellita tries to be better than them, but to no avail. Cellita tries to enjoy her summer with Partridge, but however, she ruins all her plans by misbehaving at Grandma Paisley's backyard picnic. When Cellita's ideas go wrong, she decides to stay in her room for the rest of the summer, until she hears the newscast in front of her house.
Cellita's friends send her pictures of their summers in the mail. Cellita admits to Grandma Paisley how disappointed she feels, that her friends and parents get to travel the world without her. Later, Cellita hears that Partridge is going to be on the news, because of her search for a giant monster. Cellita attempts to be part of the story, but the camera crew stops filming her. Cellita tries to pair up with Partridge in her search for monsters. Partridge soon goes missing until Cellita has a sleepover with Miguellito, and Partridge returns the next day.
One day, while Cellita and Miguellito are out, they see a monster walking down the street with Partridge. They try to chase him, but he jumps inside a school bus. The two get into the school bus with them. They continue to chase after the monster, but another car hurries and jumps in front of them. Cellita and the others drive around them, and end up finding them in a playground. The monster and the school bus driver (revealed to be Mrs. Hildebrand) get out of the school bus. They find out that the monster is really Mrs. Hildebrand in disguise, and that she was trying to get ice cream. As a prize for finding Mrs. Hildebrand, this resulted in Cellita, Partridge, Miguellito and Grandma Paisley getting ice cream together.
At the end of summer, Grandma Paisley is about to leave, but before she leaves, she and Cellita analyze a science experiment, and she gets closer to the big question. Cellita says that Grandma Paisley helped her discover the big question. Grandma Paisley tells Cellita that next year, she plans on inventing the greatest science breakthrough in history and she wants Cellita to help her. Cellita and Partridge get praised for a stuffed-animal Gigantopod getting viewed by the neighborhood.
