Jo spends her days longing for something exciting to happen in her predictable life. When a new girl moves in down the block, she may just get her wish... If someone asked Jo to describe her life, she could do so easily with a single word: boring.
The days in her quiet town seem to blur into one another, the same routine day in and day out.
Her only escape from the dull pattern of daily life is the books she reads voraciously, tales of daring plans and charming characters that teleport her to another world.
When she first sees the moving van a few doors down, Jo isn't sure what to think. The two girls moving in look nice enough, but would they be interesting?
At first it seems like Jo's nervousness will be too much for her to overcome and she won't get the chance to know them at all. Then the girls' mother strides over, with her younger daughter by her side, and Jo meets Alex.
They click almost instantly, discovering their mutual love of books and a shared birthday -- it seems as though fate brought them together, like something out of a story.
Suddenly, Jo has the best friend she's always longed for.
She and Alex are inseparable, spending hours together reading and dreaming of wild adventures conjured up in their minds.
As summer approaches, Jo and Alex hatch a plot to make their vacation as fun as possible, yet Alex can't help but miss her friends from home. It seems as though they're going to be doomed to another dull summer...
Will the girls be able to pull off their plan and have the summer of their dreams? Or will they find themselves stuck in the same old routine?
