Violet and Jobie are two mice siblings who are no longer welcome in their home (a human house) so they are taken to a field where they have to figure out how to make it in the wild. Violet and Jobie have some scary, fun and funny adventures before they settle into their new lives avoiding creatures of prey, living underground and in trees, eating new foods and making new friends. Eventually Jobie meets a special friend and begins a family of his own. Violet is lonely and heads out on her own kind of adventure. This is a delightful story, coming in September, for the young chapter book reader. It would also be a great read-aloud.
