Jack Minot and Janey Pecq are next-door neighbors and best friends so frequently seen together that Janey earns the nickname Jill after the rhyme “Jack and Jill.” Unfortunately, the sweet moniker proves prophetic when a wintry day spent sledding ends in a terrible fall that leaves both young people seriously injured. Even as petty jealousy, dreams deferred, and growing pains challenge the friends, Jack and Jill ultimately grow stronger and closer together in this charming coming-of-age tale.
