A Mouse Called Miika--by Matt Haig--5 stars

[Linda]

This is a wonderful children's book about what it means to be yourself.
Miika is a small mouse who does not have a good image of himself. One day Miika meets Bridget. Bridget makes everyone call her Bridget the Brave because she is "a mouse with attitude".
Bridget the Brave knows about a wonderful cheese called Urga-Burga. Because Bridget is the only other mouse that Miika knows, he goes with Bridget to find it. They have an adventure finding the cheese. In the end Miika discovers that sometimes it is better being yourself than what someone else wants you to be.
