Plot edit
The series shows the life of Little Lulu and her friends as 15-year-old high schoolers. The city in which the characters live is called Liberta. The five main protagonists in the story are Lulu, Tubby (Bolinha), Annie (Aninha), Gloria (Glorinha) and Alvin (Alvinho), remodeled as modern teenagers with very different personalities from those the original comics. Lulu is the heroine, always ready to solve cases and mysteries that occur at school or city. Tubby is aspiring rockstar, has a lean physique and dates several girls throughout the series. Annie is fascinated by technology and video games, being considered a geek. Gloria is the stereotype of a preppy obsessed by fashion and shopping, and now is a close friend of Lulu. Alvin is a rebellious preteen who enjoys extreme sports such as skateboarding and surfing.
