Mousenet (A Mousenet Book)

I may have a slightly soft spot for little mice that do pirouettes when they're happy but this was a well written cute book. From the description of the book, the main topic is about how mice could get tiny laptops for their use. What it doesn't mention is the underlying problems and eventual solutions for the main character, Megan. Megan's parents are divorced and has spent most of her life with her mother. A new research trip sends Megan's mother to Australia and forces Megan to stay with her father and his new wife. The awkwardness of a new family, new school, and new step-cousin are dealt with and works out in the end for everybody and the mice.

There's suspense and some adventure. The words flow well and are easy to read. I was show more hooked within the first chapter or two.

Recommended reading for both girls and boys, probably grade 4 and up.

Makes me want to go out and adopt a little mouse or two but they won't be as smart as the ones from this novel.. or are they? show less

When ten-year-old Megan helps her uncle invent the Thumbtop, the world’s smallest computer, mice are overjoyed, and they want one for every mouse hole.
The Big Cheese, leader of the Mouse Nation, has that girl followed even if it means high-tailing it to Megan’s new home on the other side of the country. While Megan struggles as the new girl, the mice watch, waiting for their chance. But when they tell Megan the biggest secret in the history of the world—mice have evolved, and they need her help—she isn’t sure anyone will believe her. With all of Mouse Nation behind her, Megan could become the most powerful girl alive, but just how will she create a Thumptop for every mouse?

Enjoyable story. Megan's inventor uncle makes her a tiny computer, which is hugely exciting to more than Megan: the mice world is overjoyed to find a computer sized just right for them! It was difficult working on the humans' computers after the humans had all gone to bed because they were much too big. So the mice make contact with Megan, convince her they're really smart and friendly, and come up with an ingenious plan to have the computers mass produced. But first, they have to solve the problem of Joey, Megan's step-cousin, who has seen a little too much to keep him in the dark. A good choice for upper elementary readers who aren't afraid of a big book.

A sweetly entertaining fantasy that families can share together.

another mouse adventure enhanced by the creation of a computer just their size, fun fast paced
