In a single day, the lives of four children weave together through an amazing adventure. Virgil Salinas is shy and feels misunderstood. Valencia Somerset is deaf, intelligent and very stubborn. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic, whose little sister, Gen, is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just stop being so different so he can concentrate on basketball. But when Chet pulls a prank on Virgil and his pet guinea pig at the bottom of a well. This disaster leads Kaori, Gen, and Valencia on an epic quest to find missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms.
