Falling Stars and Trains at Night

"Up in that tree, with the briefest instant of light, they looked regal; noble; yes, even godly. They were not just homeless boys living behind our houses; they were something far greater in disguise. But Gods cannot live among mortals for long. I didn't want to be left behind." What would you do if you found a child your own age living alone in the woods behind your house, happy and carefree like an ancient god? Three friends investigate the matter and along with the town's orphan and the kid from across the way, they befriend this mysterious boy and find a friend, a leader and maybe even a savior in the process. Slowly his charms enchant the children, daring them to leave their own lives to join his divine freedom. But is this mysterious child really a Childhood God like they all imagine, or is he merely a child like them and just as confused about life as they are? And with their families and their lives falling apart around them, can they allow him to be anything but the Childhood God of their dreams?
