Bookroo's summary

In a jungle where strength reigns supreme, a tiny mouse makes a bold promise to a mighty lion: freedom in exchange for future help. The lion, amused, releases the mouse, never expecting to need its aid. But when hunters ensnare the lion, desperation sets in. Can the mouse prove that even the smallest can be mighty? Discover a tale of unexpected heroism and the power of unlikely friendships.
