STEPHEN WORMICKÕS LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN NOTHING MORE THAN AVERAGE; NO MORE THAN ANY OTHER 12 YEAR-OLD BOY. HE SPENDS THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH HIS MOTHER, WHICH IS MORE THAN BORING. WHILE HIS FUN FILLED SUMMERS ARE SPENT IN CHICAGO, IL WITH HIS FATHER & COUSINS. EACH SUMMER IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST, BUT WITH ALL THE PREPARATIONS THAT STEPHEN WOULD MAKE BEFORE LEAVING FOR CHICAGO NOTHING COULD PREPARE HIM FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN JULY 4TH, 2000 WEEKEND. STEPHEN AND HIS COUSINS WILL HAVE A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE THIS SUMMER THAT WOULD CHANGE STEPHEN AND HIS COUSINS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. WITH SO MANY BAD THINGS IN THE WORLD THE QUESTIONS IS WHY WOULD GOD PICK THREE LITTLE BOYS TO TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD AND EVEN IF THEY WERENÕT AFRAID TO DO IT HOW WOULD THEY WHEN THEIR GREATEST THREAT IS THERE BEST FRIEND!?
