These mice have an adventure on their hands—and that means we have an easygoing read with plenty to keep us entertained. Plus Richard Peck keeps the sentences simple, so that makes this book a breeze to flip through. Sure there are some bleak moments in the mix—after all, Helena has lost both her parents—but overall, this book is a quick read.
