Description:
Clarke is a girl who has just moved in and she is very serious about adventure; Miguel knows the neighborhood and is eager to meet new people and have adventures--so with walkie-talkies, a compass, paper, and colored pencils they set out to explore and draw an "adventure map"--or perhaps it is a treasure map as Miguel insists.
