Bookroo's summary

Maurice, the Station Mouse, must follow strict rules: stay hidden, avoid daylight, and never approach passengers. But when a boy loses something precious, Maurice faces a dilemma. Will he risk breaking the rules to help, and what will be the cost? With a tiny spider sidekick and a map of the station's dangers, Maurice's journey is filled with unexpected challenges and heartwarming moments. Can he navigate the perils of the station and do what's right, or will the rules keep him from making a difference?

From the publisher

Maurice is the Station Mouse, and so he must follow The Station Mouse Handbook: Rule 1: A Station Mouse must remain unseen. Rule 2: A Station Mouse must never go out in the daytime. Rule 3: A Station Mouse must never approach the passengers. Now, there’s a reason why these rules exist: people do not like mice. And if Maurice breaks the rules, even to help a little boy who has lost something very important, there’s going to be a price to pay. There are funny details to spot on every page, including his tiny spider side-kick. Each endpaper is a map of the train station, showing where the Station Mouse goes, and where is dangerous!
