April is looking for an escape from the sixth-grade lunch hour, which has become a social-scene nightmare, so she signs up to be a "buddy bench monitor" for the fourth grade recess. Joey Byrd is a boy on the fringes, who wanders the playground alone, dragging his foot through the dirt. Over time, April realizes that Joey isn't just making random circles. When you look at his designs from above, a story emerges.
