June and her dog Sammy are best friends, which is helped by their ability to communicate with each other! June lives with her mom, dad and teenage sister. June would really like a best friend that is human, though, and she is excited when a new girl moves in across the street. Unfortunately, the mean girl at school, April, gets to Mae first, which makes it difficult for June.
June’s grandma sends her a Wonder Wheel with instructions to spin it each day and follow the directions. Those directions lead to some interesting moments with her classmates and help to encourage a friendship between June and Mae.
