"It was a snowman, all right. With a corn-cob pipe, a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. It had twigs for arms, a stovepipe hat, and a red-and-white scarf wrapped around its neck-or whatever you call the place where the big snowball meets the snowman's head. Yes, it was a snowman. There was just one problem . . ." When a mysterious yellow snowman appears in the small prairie town of Milligan Creek, Saskatchewan, it turns the entire community upside down--until a young boy named Terry dares to do the unthinkable!
