When his "weird" cousin Bon comes to live at his house, eleven-year-old Kieran Beck is mad. Bon's only friend is another newcomer, Julia, and Kieran is jealous of their friendship: he wants to be friends with Julia. Bon keeps a notebook filled with tales of Bon the Crusader, Kieran the Brave, and Julia the Fair; the protagonists, rewardingly, grow into these roles.
