In just one day, four completely different kids will find their lives tangled together in the most unexpected way. Virgil Salinas is shy, kindhearted, and feels totally out of place in his loud, sports-obsessed family. Valencia Somerset is smart, brave, and deaf, spending her days exploring nature while secretly feeling lonely. Kaori Tanaka is a confident, self-proclaimed psychic who never goes anywhere without her little sister. And Chet Bullens is the neighborhood bully who just wishes everyone would stop being so weird. These four are not friends, until a cruel prank goes terribly wrong, trapping Virgil and his beloved pet guinea pig at the bottom of an abandoned well. This sudden disaster sparks an epic, neighborhood-wide quest. Guided by Kaori's psychic visions and Valencia's sharp instincts, the kids must race against time to perform a daring rescue. Told from four unique points of view, this award-winning story is a funny and deeply moving adventure about bravery, standing up to bullies, and the strange, wonderful ways the universe brings true friends together.
