The Wall on 7th Street

Adjusting to his parents' divorce is a tough way to spend the summer for twelve-year-old Toby. Missing his dad and his friends, Toby tries to get to know his new, multicultural neighborhood, but right away he notices something creepy about 7th Street: everyone is sullen and angry. They all seem to be afraid of a teen gang that rules the neighborhood. Are they behind the mysterious car fires, packs of wild dogs, and a freak hailstorm?

No one has answers except for Toby's only friend, Moe, a homeless man who lives near an old warehouse bearing the gang's repulsive graffiti. One wall depicts a despicable mural of horror and violence that has a magical effect on the neighborhood. By tapping into its centuries-old power - linked to a famous Iroquois peacemaker - Toby and Moe find the courage to fight the gang and take back their neighborhood.
