"Clever wordplay ("If I were like One, then I could count too!" thinks Zero) reinforces nicely paced action as       Zero tries and fails to look like other numbers ("Zero twisted and turned to try to be Eight") until Seven tells    her, "Every number has value.... Be open. You'll find a way." And she does..."  ~ Publishers Weekly

After Simon loses his lucky sock, his older sister, Janey, tells him a story of a legendary creature that lives in their basement and eats missing socks for dinner. Panicked and certain he'll lose his championship soccer game without his lucky sock, Simon seeks the help of his friend Timmy to rescue it. The amusing outcome surprises everyone, including Simon, who learns a lesson he'll never forget.
