Staff Reviews


He lives a quiet life in the reference section of an antiquarian bookstore until chased into fiction by the bookstore cat. Here the bookstore mouse reads himself into a medieval tale complete with a fire-breathing dragon! But with characters named Cervantes, Goliard, Chaucer, and Censor, is this really just a tale of adventure?

Robin

— From The Bookstore Mouse

Description


He lives in a bookstore behind a large WALL OF WORDS.
He eats DELICIOUS WORDS from recipes.
He throws SHARP WORDS and POINTED REMARKS at his enemy.
And one day he slips through the words into a story that is the greatest adventure of his life.
He is THE BOOKSTORE MOUSE.

A clever and wise fable, this tale is for every book lover, every story lover, and every lover of words.

"This witty fantasy's creative use of wordplay is reminiscent of Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth."--School Library Journal
