Sixth-graders Tommy, Angela, Faye, and the twins, Judge and Jury Jenkins, have been friends forever. Now they’re faced with new problems and need to find new solutions to them—even if it means breaking the law.

The last thing Tommy wants is to be singled out as a Japanese American, so why does his mother insist on drawing attention to his family?
