Araminta (nicknamed "Minty," a.k.a. "Minty Fresh," her future roller-derby name) meets Raymond, a mysterious boy, in the woods. They team up to investigate the strange behaviors of other neighborhood kids (including Minty's best friend Paz, who's acting too grown-up for roller derby). Meanwhile, Raymond has his own secrets. All ends well in Standiford's perceptive story of changing friendships.
