'Simon, who is deaf, feels rejected by his peers. They don't seem to understand that he simply can't hear the rules of the game even when they are yelled at him. Simon strikes up a relationship with an orphan kitten which finds shelter in his cubby-house. Meeting the unquestioning, affectionate cat is just what Simon needs and when Simon goes missing it is the cat that saves the day.' (Source: Bookseller's website)
