A horrid germ has taken over the world and seven-year-old Beau Badeaux is not happy. People are in ISOLATION. School is closed. Even worse, show and tell is closed. Greatly disappointed over not being able to show his GIANT glow-in-the-dark ball, Beau writes his personal feelings about having to isolate on the ball and then angrily kicks it down the steep hill that leads into the valley. Taking on a life of its own, Beau's GIANT ball takes over Flowertown, causing both chaos and joy, and eventually teaching Beau a valuable lesson about courage.
