While spending the summer with his aunt, Willy Wilson becomes involved with a unique group of characters whose lives intersect at the local park. Unfortunately, the park's existence is threatened when the owner is manipulated by his oily attorney. Though the park issue is resolved two-thirds into the book, Gordon's likable characters, warm storytelling, and humor keep the reader's interest.
