When Mase and his sister Mimi move to Romance Lane, they think they’re in for a normal summer full of new friends and fun but at the end of the street is a cul-de-sac that is anything but normal! When Mase steps onto one mysterious driveway, the world flips upside down houses turn sideways, trees float, and gravity goes bonkers! The weirdest part? Only kids can see it! With the help of friendship, bravery, teamwork, and lots of laughs, Mase and Mimi set off on a silly, surprising adventure that proves summer is way more exciting when your street is a little bit magical.
