Gr 4–6—In the first volume, the diminutive Hopper, a mouse escapee from a pet shop in Brooklyn, NY, finds himself among the denizens of a subterranean rat empire, Atlantia, searching for his lost siblings. The battle in the previous novel left the civilization in tatters and Hopper and his friends work tirelessly to rebuild. When the tiny mouse is taken "Upland" to the streets of Brooklyn once again, he must form new alliances and grapple with his own unique and challenging destiny. For ravenous readers of Erin Hunter, Brian Jacques, and Kathryn Lasky, this is a not-to-be-missed series.
Pet-store mouse Hopper, the Chosen One, struggles with the aftermath of the war in Mouseheart, here rebuilding the rat city of Atlantia in Brooklyn's subway tunnels. Predator-prey and enemy-ally relationships are examined as cats, rodents, and insects live in unison and discord. Fiedler's second animal fantasy is an adventurous journey propelled by courage in the midst of danger and strengthened by kinship.
