Simon is too slow to learn, so he doesn't attend school. His odd expression and hulking presence frighten people, and some even think he's dangerous. Stay away from Simon! all the children are warned. But today he's in the schoolyard, laughing and playing in the falling snow. When the heavy snowfall causes school to close early, Lucy and her younger brother Josiah walk home together. Singing a counting song to make the long walk more fun, they hear a deep voice behind them, echoing their song. Lucy stops and turns. It's Simon! Is he following them?
