This rock grants wishes to the person holding it, and, as it changes hands, the neighborhood becomes filled with miniature spaceships, crocodile armies, and boulder-sized boogers. Now, the neighborhood kids try to save the town and, in the process, learn that what you wish for may not be what is really best for you.
