Sammy Shine's life as Hank's pet mouse is simple and quiet—until he flies off in remote controlled airplane and gets lost.
When Sammy Shine crashes into the forest, he ends up in a whole new world; no longer does he live in comfort in his shoe box in Hank's room. Now he's lost in the woods, with no way to get home, and a dangerous enemy.
Fortunately, a group of new friends, including another mouse, an injured crow, a newt, and a shrew, will help him find and repair his plane so he can try to get back home.
Inspired by a childhood experience, New York Times-best-selling author-illustrator Henry Cole offers this charming illustrated novel featuring adorable animal characters, an exciting adventure, and an action-packed plot.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a story about Sammy Shine, pet mouse to his human Hank. When Jimmy, Hank's brother, makes a remote control plane, he decides that Sammy should be the pilot. He sneaks Sammy from Hank's room and puts him in the plane. When the boys get in a pushing match, Hank steps on the controller and it breaks at the same time he launches the plane in the air. Sammy quickly learns to fly the plane and ends up crashing in the forest. He meets many characters, some friendly and helpful, some not. Sammy has a wonderful adventure and makes new friends along the way. This is a great story for readers ages 8 to 12, especially those reluctant readers. The illustrations are great in black and white and really add to the story. This would also be a great read aloud.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
