Synopsis

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure bursting with impact and enormous heart—one that will make you laugh out loud, cry with joy, and look inward to examine your own heart. When eleven-year-old Simon leans in to inspect a curious spot on his bedroom mirror, he falls through, tumbling into a strange new world where…

• animals talk,
• a prophecy is foretold,
• and Simon himself is drawn on a perilous journey.

You’ll be pulled right along with him as Simon and his fellow adventurers— an Oscar-deserving raccoon, a grace-filled deer, an endearing beaver family, one red-winged blackbird, and possibly the most comical Labrador retriever ever born—set out on their journey. Going back and forth through the mirror, Simon faces a critical test on each side: In the “real” world, he must protect his sister against the horrific abuse of an alcoholic father. In the “mirror” world, he must somehow find God’s love by meeting his greatest fears, face-to-face. And each side propels Simon towards the ultimate struggle—one of life. Or death.
“Both my wife and I have read Simon’s Song and we absolutely loved it. Because it touches on such real life issues such as abusive parents, alcoholism and child abuse, it is relevant and emotionally powerful. Much like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter, it is most likely a young readers’ book that will be read and enjoyed by adults and younger readers alike.”—Perry G. Downs, Ph.D.
