One small step for a mouse; one giant leap for aviation. These are dark times . . . for a small mouse. A new invention-the mechanical mousetrap-has caused all the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places . . . the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly! Debut illustrator Torben Kuhlmann's inventive tale and stunning illustrations will capture the imagination of readers-young and old-with the death-defying feats of this courageous young mouse.
