The family baby sitter, Rachel, names the neighbors, mostly adults, for new residents Ebram and his siblings, Alyssa, Eric, and Angela. They're surprised to meet them for the first time at a children's birthday party for Eric and Angela! Rachel also says there are two girls, Chloe and Zoe, who live a few blocks away. Not only are these girls invited to the same party because their dad is a colleague of Ebram's dad, but they live next door to one of Ebram's best friends!
There are much deeper links explored in this book, such as the link people have to each other despite their differences, including cultural and religious. A group of tweens/teens that Ebram joins consists of Christians of various denominations linked together by their common goal to serve the Lord, the equilateral triangle worn on their clothing a reminder of their belief in the Holy Trinity.
