About this title

About the Author:

James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, the story of four outcast seventh-graders who try to end name-calling in their school. The Misfits is now widely read and studied in middle schools throughout the country, and was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.

From AudioFile:

Adventure is the tie that binds for these three friends. "From the depths of the seven sewers to the heights of Mount Ever-Rust," Horace, Morris, and Dolores go jaunting with gusto. When the Mega-Mice and Cheese Puffs clubs threaten to separate them, the strength of their friendship prevails. Jason Harris creates fine mouse personas, with just the right level of delight or despair as the friends separate, reunite, and attract new buddies. The musical accompaniment is light, and the sound effects bring depth to each of the scenes. The young listener will be pleased by this total package.
