Bookroo's summary
Mina, a mouse living peacefully with her father in a tree stump, faces a dilemma when her father brings home a peculiar 'squirrel' from the woods. Her instincts scream danger, but her father's excitement is infectious. As worry and doubt creep in, Mina must decide whether to trust her father's judgment or her own intuition. Is this new arrival a friend or a threat? Dive into a tale of trust, loyalty, and the courage to question, where a daughter's instincts might just save the day.
