Eleven-year-old Callie's summer is less than ideal owing to her weirdo family, the loss of her best friend to the popular crowd, and her general feeling of being a misfit. She finds escape in swimming, diving, and hanging with her new friend, Hoot. Callie is realistically portrayed, adding to the humorous story's appeal.
