Henry is a hurricane! Everyone thinks so. Everyone except Lila. When Lila meets Henry, she sees more than a hurricane and when Henry meets Lila, he sees more than the new girl at school. Henry teaches Lila how to do kick flips and paint with her eyes closed. Lila teaches Henry how to do yoga and read a book all the way through. Together they're magic. But when spring vacation arrives and Lila and her family go to the ocean and Henry and his family go to the mountains, nothing is the same. Being apart is a disaster, until Henry and Lila remember that true friends bring out the best in one another wherever they are.
