In the summer of 1981 Ernest Terry, like most boys his age, is obsessing over George Lucass Star Wars saga. In the woods outside Ernests neighborhood, capture-the-flag contests escalate into sprawling Jedi battles, with bright yellow Wiffle ball bats substituting for lightsabers. But when a bully snaps Ernests already-damaged weapon in half, our hero and his friends accept a mission: follow a nearby stream to the town mall, buy a new bat and return home before their parents realize theyre missing. Awkward pre-teen characters wrestle with small crushes, big imaginations and coming-of-age obstacles over the course of a lazy, but eventful, summer afternoon.
