This was such a fun book, particularly for younger kids. Benjamin Ravenspell is anxious to prove that he is responsible enough to have a pet of his own, so he lizard-sits for a classmate's monitor lizard.

Ben gets turned into a mouse by a mouse wizard and sets out on a quest to free the mice in the local petshop.

There seems to be a lot of potential for the sequel.
