Craig of the Creek

In the fictional suburb of Herkleston City, Baltimore, Maryland, Craig is 10 years old and loves to play at the creek with his friends Kelsey and J.P. He is a natural leader and always tries to help the other kids when they need it most. Kelsey Bern is 9 years old, always wears a cape and has a parakeet (which she says is a hawk) named Mortimer that is usually perched on top of her head.
John Paul "J.P." Mercer wears a field hockey jersey that is too big for him. Although he is not very bright, he is imaginative and kind to those around him.
Craig, Kelsey and JP have many adventures on the creek, described as a childlike wilderness utopia where tribes of children rule over tree houses and bike ramp trails.
