"A story of toil and triumph-inspired by Charles Lindbergh's solo flight! These are dark times . . . for a small mouse. A new invention-the mechanical mousetrap-has caused all of the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places . . . the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly! Torben Kuhlmann's stunning illustrations will capture the imagination of readers young and old with the death-defying feats of this courageous and persistent young mouse."
