Overview

Sammy Shine's life as Hank's pet mouse is simple and quiet-until he flies off in remote controlled airplane and gets lost. When Sammy Shine crashes into the forest, he ends up in a whole new world; no longer does he live in comfort in his shoe box in Hank's room. Now he's lost in the woods, with no way to get home, and a dangerous enemy.

Since Sammy is way too cute to fail, this amusing tale will serve well as an early chapter book or read-aloud. An excellent fit for younger chapter book readers, who will hope this isn't the last they'll see of Sammy Shine.
