Review by Rox Burkey

Inspirational Story with Great Lessons!

Author Nicholas S. Casale creates a fun world where Mousefred (Mousey) Souris is at the mercy of the cat sorceress Felicia Muur. Queen Felicia ruled all the mice with an iron fist. The descriptions were detailed, and the dialogue believable between all creatures.

As a youngster, Mousey finds he has the power to overcome many obstacles. His approach to other creatures as a helper is a good trait that the evil Queen does not reward. He longs to escape and find his way.

I found the adventures and challenges that Mousey faces a good source of entertainment and life lessons for children. The lessons including helping others, doing the right thing, and conquering fears. The introduction of the golden book opens the story for magical fun. Learning this magic provides the talisman to Mousey to find his inner strength.

Narrator Miguel Rodriguez delivered this story at a good pace to keep young readers and adults engaged. His rich, warm voice and intonations kept me listening. The story is compelling on its own, but listening to this story brought me back to my childhood. I highly recommend this to children and adults. I think it would be a fun story to listen to during a road trip this summer.
