This historical novel for young readers, set in 1852 in southeastern Wisconsin between Milwaukee and Chicago, introduces us to two neighboring 13-year-olds, Katie McEachron and her friend Florence Mather, who experience an exciting summer as the wooden plank road that runs by their homes brings intriguing strangers to their dinner tables and the plight of runaway slaves to their consciences. Katie McEachron is a forthright, impulsive girl who has not yet learned the importance of keeping silent. Her friend Florence Mather, a solemn and hardworking girl, came with her family from Cornwall, England. Florence has an eager mind, but her mother is less interested in Florence¿s education than in having her help at the inn. One day in May a stranger arrives at the inn, where neighbors have gathered to plan the first Racine County fair. The visit of the mysterious stranger launches a string of events that will make this a most unforgettable summer for the two girls. Themes include Underground Railroad (fugitive slaves en route to Canada), Transportation (historic plank roads), Rural Pioneer Life and Immigrant Heritage in the Upper Midwest / Great Lakes region. The co-authors are sisters who grew up in locale depicted in the book, where they heard stories of the old plank road from descendants of the early settlers. Hilda Demuth-Lutze, a high school English teacher, lives in rural Northwest Indiana (near Valparaiso). Emily Demuth Ishida, a school library aide and freelance writer, lives in a suburb of Chicago.

Trevor has known since he was ten years old that he has Huntington's disease, but at sixteen he is informed that he has one year to live. One day while he's trying to figure stuff out, an old man named Plank finds him standing at a cliff by the ocean. It's the beginning of an odd but intriguing relationship. Both Trevor and Plank decide to live by Plank's Law, which is "just live." This means Trevor has to act on the things on his bucket list, like hanging out with real penguins, star in a science fiction movie and actually talk to Sara—the girl at the hospital who smiles at him. With the aid of Plank and Sara, Trevor revises his bucket list to include more important things and takes charge of his illness and his life.
