They couldn't be more different. Bertha is lively and popular while Grace, on the other hand, is shy and serious. She keeps mostly to herself. Despite their differences in character, the girls become very close friends and are looking forward to their summer vacation. Bertha will be going to spend time with her Aunt Meg while Grace, who has no family, is planning to work at Mr. Clark’s book store over the summer holiday. Bertha feels sad for her best friend who has a dull summer planned and so she decides to invite Grace to spend the summer with her aunt in her place. Not only does Grace have the most wonderful time, but the most amazing thing happens that will change her life forever.
