Word of Mouse by James Patterson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"In life you have to stand for something; otherwise, you'll be sitting on your butt." - Isaiah

Poor Isaiah! Separated from his family while attempting to escape from an inhumane research lab, Isaiah is left to fend for himself in the outside world, complete with hungry hawks, devil cats, and rancid-smelling rats. Let's just say that Isaiah is officially a nervous wreck (not that he wasn't before).

Fortunately, Isaiah discovers the courage to thrive hidden within himself, his unusual talents serving him every step of the way. With the help of his new (and equally unusual) friends, Isaiah just may reunite with his family, and better yet, rescue them!

I loved this book! I didn't even think these types of stories were written anymore. Its plot was clean and captivating; and the narrative itself was dryly hilarious. Fans of classics like Beverly Cleary's The Mouse and the Motorcycle series and tales by E.B. White will fall in love with the adventures of a tiny mouse with a big heart, namely, Isaiah.
