Eleven-year-old Kid is fascinated by a mountain goat living on the roof of her Manhattan apartment building. Though she is painfully shy, things start changing for Kid when she makes a new friend, Will, who lost his parents on 9/11. The story offers insight into life's obstacles through the viewpoints of characters of all ages; it's also an affectionate and quirky ode to Manhattan.
