- Fiction, Reminiscing in old age, Friendship in adolescence, Teenagers
In 1941 New York, young Joey El Bueno's world is turned upside-down when he meets the enigmatic Jane Bent, a freckle-faced girl with pigtails who seems to know him better than he knows himself, comes and goes at will, claims to have once levitated six feet off the ground, and seems to only be known by Joey.
