Set in 1949 and taking inspiration from E. B. White’s Stuart Little, this novel about a 10-year-old orphan named Caro and a mouse who join forces to expose baby-napping criminals and make the orphanage a safe haven for mice reads like a classic.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4–6—In 1949 Philadelphia, the shrewd Mrs. Helen George operates The Cherry Street Home for orphans. Unbeknownst to her, a colony of mice also dwells within the orphanage's walls. One particular mouse, Mary, becomes friends with a little girl, Caro, and that friendship sets the stage for many events in the story. Caro, disfigured from burns suffered in a fire, is a natural leader, so Mrs. George cultivates her loyalty by giving her special privileges. Caro looks up to Mrs. George and willingly does whatever she wants her to do. When a new baby comes to the home, Caro doesn't think Mrs. George's story about the baby's abandonment makes sense. By the next day, Caro receives word that she is being adopted by someone whom she has never seen. Her friend Jimmy knows something doesn't add up. Mary Mouse has overheard Mrs. George's plan and acts to save Caro. With dashes of mystery, intrigue, and adventure, this tale of friendship is endearing. There are liberal references to Stuart Little throughout the story as the mice create their own humanlike existence and forge alliances with children. Recommended for fans of E. B. White.—Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, Bowling Green, KY

A kindhearted orphan girl and a clever mouse join forces to expose an illegal baby-selling operation in a Philadelphia orphanage. Since her mother's death in a fire that disfigured her own hand and arm, 11-year-old Caro McKay's lived at Cherry Street Home for Children, where she's known as a "responsible, sweet-tempered child" and a favorite of enigmatic headmistress Mrs. George. No one realizes there's a thriving mouse colony at Cherry Street Home until Mrs. George's cat, Gallico, catches Mary Mouse covertly trying to steal commemorative stamps the mice use as artwork. When Caro rescues Mary, they bond. Alerted to the presence of mice, Mrs. George threatens to call an exterminator, triggering the colony's mass exodus. Left behind, Mary's joined by Andrew, an adventurous mouse who can read. Inspired by their literary hero, Stuart Little, Mary and Andrew discover Mrs. George runs a baby-selling racket, while Caro's become suspicious about a missing baby. The staccato pace alternates between Mary and Andrew's daring exploits and Caro's harrowing efforts to thwart Mrs. George. Period detail about orphanages in 1949 adds historical depth, while atmospheric black-and-white illustrations highlight dramatic scenes. Along with Gallico, surely an homage to the author of The Abandoned, there are other children's-literature cameos readers will enjoy picking out. An original, rousing mouse adventure in the tradition of Stuart Little. --Kirkus Reviews
