His hero is his dad, who died when he was a toddler. Peter dreams of base hits like his dad. Coaches don't want him, though, as his skills were pitiful. A girl was much better. Peer pressure is constant. His widowed mom is buried in work and trying to save her family. Peter chases his dream alone. His make believe turns real as his imaginary friends-an oak, two owls, and a fox-come to his rescue. They are able to talk with him and help with valuable historic Indian and Spanish treasures for the family. An adult enemy carries out sinister plots to obtain the treasures. The setting is in the historic woods of Tallahassee, Florida. Excitement and drama fill each chapter through the final scene.
