## Synopsis

Seven children leave summer camp behind when they are unexpectedly pulled into the Digital World, a strange place inhabited by Digimon. Each child meets a Digimon partner capable of changing into stronger forms when danger closes in. Their search for a way home soon becomes tied to protecting this unfamiliar world from hostile Digimon. Battles drive the journey forward, while the children must also deal with loneliness, jealousy, guilt and doubts about whether they are loved. Their partners give them strength, but progress depends on the children recognizing their own faults and learning how to trust one another. The premise stays accessible while the serialized story gives its emotional conflicts room to develop.
