young fredle

Written by Cynthia Voigt, Illustrated by Louise Yates

Young Fredle is a mouse. He used to be a kitchen mouse until the day he was found under a bowl and tossed outside by the Missus. Away from his family and the norms of his close-knot community, Fredle is forced to face the outside world - a world full of unfamiliar sensations and threats, such as raptors and raccoons. The illustrations highlight the characters and actions in this chapter book.

Along the way, Fredle makes some new friends, finds his way back home, and faces the monumental task of finding where he truly belongs. He learns to negotiate the space between discovery and danger and the thrill of freedom. In this delightful book, school-age students will root for the sympathetic hero.
