Summer vacation in their small Maine town does not look too promising until twelve-year-old Gina and four of her friends make a pact to become millionaires before school starts in September.

Throughout the seasons the workers at the Village Garage are busy taking care of the town and its residents.

Quinito knows that his neighborhood is made up of more than buildings, streets, and shops: everyone in the neighborhood has an important job, and each friend and neighbor knows and values everyone else. Sumario en español: Quinito sabe que su vecindad consiste en más que edificios, calles y tienda. Todos los vecinos tienen trabajos importantes y cada amigo y vecino sabe y valora cada uno.
