Growing up in the 1950s, two nine-year-old children, Jeff Spencer and Diane Mohr have little in the way of toys or money, but they have a sense of adventure and plenty of imagination. They explore their neighborhood and make the most of what they have. Though Jeff would prefer that his new neighbor was a boy, he reluctantly becomes friends with Diane, inviting her to share some of his favorite activities. She might not be so bad after all. Especially when she practically saves his life.
