13-year-olds, Christy Walker and Trevor Hanson, have been best friends since first grade. When Christy's grandmother dies, she leaves Christy a mysterious packet of information revealing the amazing secret that the pond in her yard is in fact a portal to another world, and that the portal's closing had been the cause of her grandfather's mysterious disappearance nine years earlier.Knowing that her grandmother's final wish was for her to keep the secret, Christy struggles with her alienation from Trevor, who is upset that she won't bring him into her confidence. Meanwhile she is trying to learn sign language, as she is virtually forced to babysit all summer for Danny, the nine-year-old boy next door with a severe hearing impairment. Frustrated and alone, Christy tries to keep the secret of the pond to herself.However, things spiral out of her control when nosy classmate Rob accidentally crosses through to the other world and is assumed "drowned", and she inadvertently causes her young charge to follow her when she decides to rescue Rob. Reunited with her long lost grandfather, the three search for a way back home.And what of Trevor left behind? Will he be able to convince the parents of the truth? Or will they drain the pond, possibly stranding the children forever in an alien world?
