Maddie, an outgoing fourth grader, signs up for a video class at the 10th Street Community Center. At Maddie's suggestion, the class chooses to make their video project about the pending destruction of the old courthouse in town, something that is causing much controversy. Maddie is strongly opposed to the destruction of the historic building. Another girl, Carina, is in favor of tearing down the courthouse. Through their research for the project, the girls learn to appreciate each other's viewpoint and see opportunities for compromise on the issue.
In the United States people have many rights, including the right to free speech. In some other places in the world, however, people have very few rights. In fact, some people do not even have basic freedom, such as regular access to food and shelter. This is the case for the people of Somalia, where poverty and fighting have torn the nation apart.
When Charlie Allen learns in April that he has until June to meet his school's community service requirement, he's not sure what to do. Being on the shy side doesn't help him, either. Fortunately, his mom comes up with a project idea that suits him: doing gardening work for Adeline Carroll, his elderly neighbor. But after meeting her, Charlie's community service project turns out to be far more than a once-a-week job. It turns into a friendship.
