Josh and his friends have the kinds of problems upper-elementary school and lower-middle school kids will identify with--outgrowing the roles and extracurriculars their parents have chosen, and trying to assert their independence without letting down their families. None of the plans completely backfire (though they do go wrong in fairly predictable ways), and the lack of slapstick-y hijinks keeps this well-grounded in reality.
