April afternoons are carefree and simple for several third grade friends as they enjoy a school vacation and the chance to hang out together. The girls are puzzled, however, by the daily appearance of a seemingly quirky little girl. Though one of them, Krissy, makes overtures of friendship to the girl, she gets little response. The other girls opt to ignore "The Quiet One" altogether. As vacation draws to a close, Krissy befriends a new neighbor and discovers that things aren't always what they appear to be and that friendships can develop in unexpected ways.
