This is the story of Maclovio Lopez and Peter Scott, both eleven, during one summer at Big Bay Island. Maclovio, of Mexican descent, is a foster child in the Scott home. For different reasons, each boy is wary of the other, feels threatened by the other, and each in turn is defensive and aggressive.Their angers, frustrations and torments, as well as their devotion to T-Bone, the beautiful collie dog, plus their fun adventures to a dangerous jetty, an old 'castle', foggy dunes and a deserted canal, eventually bring them to mutual understanding and respect. Both come to realize they are not so different under the skin after all, and each has finally earned the trust of the other. They are at last friends.
