Nibble and munch. Magnus gnawed around the edges until he saw daylight. He flicked his whiskers and slipped through the opening...Magnus only wanted to sniff the morning, but suddenly he finds himself in a strange and enormous world. It's a lonely place for a white mouse, with no family of his own. The mice in the cupboard let him sleep on the bottom shelf, but when the humans start setting traps they must escape. Will Magnus brave the dangers and find a new home for them all? Errol Broome tells a heartening story about how doubts can be changed to courage, and how even the smallest adventurer can become a hero.
