Four friends in the fourth grade get ready to catch their bus to school when one of them, David looks across the street to the opposite corner and sees what appear to be four angels. He believes they are real but keeps it to himself for a while before he confirms it. It is nearing the end of the school year, and they have already made their plans for the summer. David has told his friends about the angels, but he's the only one that can see them and talk to them. His friends tease him a little bit but don't try to convince him that he is wrong. As each child is facing different things in their lives, they remain close and see each other daily. They are also planning to play baseball, and the park is the important meeting place. Two of the friends are facing some difficulties that affect their lives, but the others try to lend support and friendship that will help them cope with their problems. Each child has an angel assigned to watch over and protect them, so no matter where they are, their angels are with them. The angels talk to each other, and if able to help others, they pitch in. There are two occasions where sadness becomes involved. In one situation, there is a happy ending; but in the other one, there is sadness and some new adjustments that have to be made. David, in the end, questions his angel about his whereabouts at times and why he didn't or couldn't help his friend. David asks him for something special, but his angel can't answer him right then. David is willing to wait for the answer to his request.
