Ike and Mem and their friends are playing in the backyard one summer night, catching lightning bugs in a jar. Dave Hove has a different idea for the game. He tears the bugs apart, squashing their lightning rings onto his finger to make a glow spot. He presses the rings onto the other boys' fingers too. Later when Ike does his chores, the spot on his finger and the memory of the squashed bugs won't go away. Can he fix what happened? This gentle and poignant chapter book teaches readers about decisions and consequences, and the importance of following your heart.
