阿黛兒跟西蒙再次啟程！他們剛剛抵達紐約，要去拜訪希斯莉阿姨，展開一場橫跨美國的驚奇之旅！ 西蒙很清楚他要帶的東西包括：日記本、鉛筆盒和牛仔帽，鋼杯、水壺和印花領巾，雙筒望遠鏡、地圖、小刀、夾克、背心和紅色吊帶。「拜託你別在旅途中搞丟任何東西了！」阿黛兒嘆了口氣對弟弟說。但是當西蒙看到那麼多令人驚嘆的景象時，怎麼可能還記得要看好他的東西呢？西蒙與阿黛兒跟著希斯莉阿姨來到火車站，月台上滿滿都是人、手提箱和行李箱。正當他們準備上車時，突然間――日記本呢？西蒙的日記本到哪兒去了？搭了一天一夜的火車，他們到達了芝加哥，街道上擠得水洩不通，還有令西蒙感到好新奇的電車，到處都是鈴聲、喇叭和鳴笛。突然間――牛仔帽呢？西蒙的牛仔帽到哪兒去了？希斯莉阿姨的朋友住在北達科他州的農場裡。西蒙與阿黛兒參觀了穀倉，還餵食了雞群和母牛。回到農舍，希斯莉阿姨提著一壺溫牛奶，看起來好好喝，西蒙正要拿出鋼杯裝牛奶時，咦――鋼杯呢？西蒙的鋼杯到哪兒去了？這裡是舊金山中國城，街上瀰漫著特別的氣味。希斯莉阿姨帶他們去吃廣式點心，還買了些梅乾當零嘴。哎呀――領巾呢？西蒙的印花領巾到哪兒去了？最後一站是華盛頓。西蒙與阿黛兒跟希斯莉阿姨沿著林蔭大道散步，參觀了華盛頓紀念碑、史密森尼學會和美國國會山莊，這些建築和巴黎真的很不一樣！噢，不――吊帶呢？西蒙的吊帶到哪兒去了？｢我真不敢相信！你竟然搞弄了所有東西！而且是掉在全美國！｣肩負看顧弟弟責任的阿黛兒，儘管一路上再三提醒，西蒙還是一如往常的把身上所有東西全都搞丟了。然而，西蒙一點兒也不煩惱，在這趟美國之旅裡，他不僅大開眼界，還擁有了好多奇妙的體驗！這一回，西蒙的東西能順利找回來嗎？你願意幫他一起尋找嗎？
