We’re big into reading at our house and my kiddos LOVE to discover new books. You can imagine that they were SUPER excited when Word of Mouse showed up at our doorstep! My 4th grader dove right in and read it in just a few days – she couldn’t put it down! She’s been telling everyone, “You need to need this book, it’s really good!”
My kiddos always get books as gifts at Christmas, so if you’re the same way and looking for new books to give, this is a great option!
WORD OF MOUSE by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein
It’s an illustrated middle grade (think ages 8-12, and I LOVE that there are books focused on this age group) story that follows the illuminating journey of a very special mouse, and the unexpected friendships that he makes along the way:
What makes Isaiah so unique? First, his fur is as blue as the sky—which until recently was something he’d never seen, but had read all about. That’s right—Isaiah can read, and write. He can also talk to humans…if any of them are willing to listen! After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his “mischief” (which is the word for a mouse family), and has to use his special skills to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls, and terrified people, it’s hard for a young, lone mouse to make it alone. When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers.
I love that the chapter titles are inspirational quotes, and it was fun picking out our favorites – my 10 year old LOVES quotes, so this is right up her alley!

Do you have a favorite? I love “Our brightest blazes are often kindled by unexpected sparks” – isn’t that a good one?!
