Bookroo's summary

In a world where mechanical mousetraps threaten his kind, one brave mouse refuses to flee. With steamships guarded by cats, his only hope lies in the skies. Can he defy the odds and learn to fly, or will his daring plan crash and burn? This inventive tale of courage and innovation will captivate readers as they follow the mouse's thrilling journey to freedom.

From the publisher

One small step for a mouse; one giant leap for aviation. These are dark times . . . for a small mouse. A new invention–the mechanical mousetrap–has caused all 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! Debut illustrator Torben Kuhlmann’s inventive tale and stunning illustrations will capture the imagination of readers–young and old–with the death-defying feats of this courageous young mouse.
