Strange things are growing in Leonard Slinket's watermelon field. They are as light and small as Wiffle balls, turn smooth and warm, dark, yet luminous, and their vines beat with a pulse. So begins The Lons - short for watermelons - as Slinket, his younger carpenter-friend, John Bigby, and science teacher, Lydia Rice, set out to discover why the lons are here, and what it is that they want, or else, says Leonard, "all hell's gonna break loose." Who knows if the lons are good or bad? But there's no doubting their power and their beauty, their need for each other, and the mystery of their existence. In this story of adventure, loyalty, love, and connection, we come to find that the lons are not much different from us.
