When Cooper is packed off to his
grandparents’ farm in South Dakota for the summer, aged 11, while his parents ‘work’
on their marriage, he’s convinced that this will be the worst summer of his
life. No baseball camp, no live games at Yankee Stadium and no friends to help
alleviate his boredom. Instead, he’s got weeks of collecting eggs, mucking out
stalls and chores to look forward to. Similarly, he’s resigned to dislike
neighbour Lil Chance on sight simply for the reason that she’s a girl, but what
he doesn’t expect is for this unlikely friendship to be the most important and
meaningful of his entire life.
