"You better come home with me," says the Scarecrow to the Boy who wandered into town one late winter day. It was just an expression—the local way of leaving without saying good-bye. But the boy is a stranger to the tiny Appalachian town, so he replies simply, "Thank you," and gets up to go along.

Who is the Boy? No one is sure, least of all the Boy himself. Maybe the clue lies with the Scarecrow or Mr. Fox, or the Witch, who loves a good natural disaster. Or is it the extraordinary Snowman who truly knows the secret of the Boy's place in this haunting, magical Appalachian world?
