Amanda and her friends are intrepid adventurers. They race airplanes, build big forts, and tame wild animals. When her friends suggest turning a tree into a pirate ship, Amanda can't get on board (and climb the tree). So she comes up with other activities to avoid having to climb, but alas, her tactics don't work. Her friends insist that she join them. They seem to be having so much fun! Can she overcome her fear? She'll try...

A funny and touching story about courage and determination.
