Bookroo's summary
Ralph, a daring mouse, escapes his chaotic home life by joining his friend Ryan at school. There, he becomes the star attraction, but faces a daunting challenge: navigating a maze to prove his intelligence. As Ralph's confidence wavers, he must confront his fears and discover if he's truly as smart as he believes. Will Ralph rise to the occasion, or will the maze outsmart him? This final adventure in the Ralph S. Mouse series promises excitement and self-discovery.
From the publisher
In this third and final Mouse novel from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, Ralph heads to school to see what humans do all day . . . and to discover what the “S” in Ralph S. Mouse stands for!
With his rowdy cousins constantly wearing out his motorcycle and the Mountain View Inn manager threatening to take care of the mouse infestation once and for all, Ralph decides it’s time to get away for a while. He convinces his human friend Ryan to take him along to school, where Ralph instantly becomes the center of attention. But when Ryan’s class decides to see how smart Ralph is by making him run a maze, the usually confident mouse starts to fret. What if he’s not as clever as he thought?
