Simon, an orphan, is living in a monastery and longs to draw pictures for the manuscripts. Under Brother William's guidance, Simon learns about the various tasks in a scriptorium. When Brother William inquires about Simon illustrating the illuminated manuscripts, Father Anselm concedes IF Simon proves to have the ability to capture mice. Simon slowly solves Father Anselm's riddle and experiences the joy of drawing!
I liked the writing and the storyline, but the illustrations did not appeal to my preference.
