Bookroo's summary

When a girl named Iris goes to the cinema, a small mouse stows away in her sweater pocket. Iris names her Douglas, after the daring film star Douglas Fairbanks, and the brave mouse soon sets out across the rooftops of Bloomville, escaping hungry cats and broom-wielding humans to return to her movie-theater home. Told in four acts with cinematic pictures.

From the publisher

In his follow-up to Lucy, Randy Cecil again tells a visually arresting tale in four acts -- this time about a brave movie-theater mouse on a daring adventure. When Iris Espinosa goes to the cinema, she doesn't expect to meet a small mouse. And she certainly doesn't expect that mouse to stow away in her sweater pocket. At home, Iris is delighted by the mouse's daring, which reminds her of the actor Douglas Fairbanks. And so begin the adventures of a sweet, plucky mouse named Douglas, who must overcome obstacles aplenty, from hungry cats to broom-wielding humans, as she journeys across the tall rooftops of Bloomville to return to her movie-theater home. Full of high-stakes chases, clever escapes, and valiant rescues, Randy Cecil's story is a cinematic and meticulously crafted celebration of courage and friendship.
