Murano Mice: Tales for Wise Children II

The creatures in these tales are faced with challenges. They will have to rely on their resilience, inventiveness and the ability to relate to others to tackle what comes their way.

Rebecca, the matron heading the Glassworks mice, is frantically searching for a misplaced will. She will need her daughter’s help to outwit crafty Micio, the alley cat, and retrieve the precious document before it is too late.

Gloomy Daisy, an unconsolable dairy cow who has been deprived of her calves, ventures away from the pasture where her companions are peacefully grazing to enter the realm of the great auroch, thereby finding happiness.

And what about Taco and Pico, the lab mice? Being made to run through mazes all day is no fun. The pair make a daring escape, but are in for a few surprises, among which learning that not all mice are white.

Or Leonardo, a young fox who finds out at his expense that he would have done well to heed his mother’s warning. Going into the woods on one of the ‘Terrible Nights’ has dire consequences; it won’t be easy for him to put things right.

There are many more creatures within the pages of this book – among which a bombastic tardigrade – just waiting to share their stories with you.

His feelings of isolation lead him to befriend a group of older boys and join in some of their activities. But are they really friends?  

Then Max meets some-one who takes a real interest in him. Could this be the turning point in his life?

The Sparrow Tales

The story of Charlotte Sparrow is not a fairy tale. Sure, she’s a princess and lives in an enormous castle, but if you learn anything from Charlotte’s tale, let it be this: Never judge a book by its cover. Or perhaps, never trust a wolf in a bowler hat and coat? What I’m trying to say is Charlotte’s life is not all cupcakes and jelly.

First, she must flee the kingdom to find her father, who mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night. Then, she finds herself in the Black Forest, where she is confronted by a well-dressed wolf and an articulate squirrel dictator.

The only saving grace is her new friends, whom she meets along the way. Join Charlotte and her friends on their journey to find her missing father.
