Introduction
The story takes place in a whimsical, seemingly perfect town called Sherbet. The weather is simply lovely with it only snowing in the winter, and raining for precisely forty-five minutes in the summertime. Having supplied the reader a map, the narrator requests him/her to search for a street on it called Gumm. And on this street, four girls of about the same age live. Their names are Franny Muggs, Pru Gumm, Cat Lemonjello and Ivy Diamond.
