When Skye's cousin Hiroshi and his family move to Virginia from Japan, the cultural differences lead to misunderstandings and both children are unhappy at the changes in their lives--will flying the dragon kite finally bring them together?

With the help of Mrs. Jenkins' magical tools, Patrick creates an imaginary place all his own that's filled with adventure, fantastical animals, and objects.
