Level 3: Snowshoe Thompson

by Nancy Smiler Levinson


Christmas is coming and Danny's father is away digging for gold. So Danny writes him a letter: "Dear Pa, I wish you would come home for Christmas". But the snow is so deep that no one wants to carry the mail - no one except Snowshoe Thompson. "You can count on me," he says, "I can make it." Many people think he's crazy to attempt such a trip - but Danny knows better: You can count on Snowshoe Thompson!
