Wentworth, Ohio: a small friendly town where the Carver children bicker over swe
ets in the E-Z shop and writer Johnny Marinville is the only resident who minds
his own business. On Poplar Street, apart from the impending storm, it's just a
normal summer's day - with Frisbees flying, lawn mowers humming and barbeques gr
illing. As the paperboy makes his round, he is unaware of the chrome red van idl
ing up the hill ...Soon the residents will be caught up in a game of wills as th
e regulators arrive in force to face a child whose powers of expression are just
awakening.
