Summer vacation starts off badly for Jeffy, or so he fears. He and his parents have recently moved from their home in Wisconsin to Pensacola, Florida, far away from all his friends and relatives. Normally a very outgoing twelve-year-old, Jeffy finds himself alone, bored, and angry. Shortly after arriving, however, his days become filled with wonder after he encounters a very special apparition… an angel named Timmy Love.

Jeffy initially questions Timmy’s reality. But, after a period of time, Jeffy not only believes in his Guardian Angel, but proves himself to be an eager pupil. Timmy tells Jeffy that the world is a great big playground. It’s full of challenges to overcome, but some see them as obstacles to fear. Timmy calls fear the “thief,” because it can steal your youthful innocence.
