It's summer vacation at 3rd Street Elementry--the ultimate recess. T.J. is thrilled at the idea of getting to spend the summer hanging out with his friends until he finds out they've all made plans to go to summer camp. It looks like he's got a long, lonely summer ahead of him until he sees a strange green light coming from the school... and strange men in black suits? ...and ninjas?! It's time for T.J. to call in the gang before a dastardly plot succeeds in scrapping their beloved recess--permanently.
