| Summary, Etc. |
It's 1952, and in the tiny town of Brookdale, the scent of sugar and springtime fills the air, adventure is only a bike ride away, and four friends -- Sam, Frank, Evy, and Henry -- are chasing dreams much bigger than their small town can hold. A regular at the junkyard, Sam Sweet can find anything, except the courage to enter the first Nationwide New Candy Contest. Frank dreams of creating maps that people will want to crawl inside of. New-in-town Evy longs to dazzle with magic tricks. And Frank's little brother Henry? He just wants to make (and eat!) the fluffiest marshmallows the world has ever seen. Though their dreams are all different, these lifelong friends will learn that when they work together, they can turn the impossible into something wonderfully sweet.
