''[[How Toto Rock]]'' is a Nickelodeon series about a girl named Kacey Simon, member of her school's social elite until her loss of eyesight and the tooth injury that results from it force her to get glasses and braces, which causes her [[Girl Posse]] to kick her out. With her former friends wanting nothing to do with her, she ends up hanging out with the members of a music group called Gravity 5, who turn out to be much better friends than the ones she knew.
 
Loosely based on the book ''How To Rock Braces and Glasses'' by Meg Haston. ''How To Rock'' premiered on February 5, 2012 and lasted only one season.
