Moving to a new school can be hard, and no one knows this better than Sam. He has moved to five different schools in five years and has yet to make a friend! On top of not having any friends at this new school, he carries this clanging, banging, oversized backpack that just makes life a lot tougher. Sam's luck with making new friends looked like it might turn around when he met Julie, but he could tell that she was not like everyone else. Everything she did was like nothing he had ever seen, and she kept mentioning the Carpenter he needed to meet. Will Sam and Julie become friends? Will he ever get rid of that clanging, banging, oversized backpack that makes his life so tough, and why does Julie want Sam to meet the Carpenter?
