Word of Mouse Award-winning author by James Patterson (author) and Joe Sutphin (illustrator) (UK edition)

First, his fur is as blue as the sky – which until recently was something he’d never seen, but had read all about. That’s right – Isaiah can read, and write. He can also talk to humans… if any of them are willing to listen!

After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his ‘mischief’ (which is the word for a mouse family) and has to use his special skills to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls and terrified people, it’s hard for a young mouse to make it alone.

When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers.

James Patterson

James Patterson is one of the world’s bestselling authors, having written over 100 books in his career. He started out writing adult thrillers (and still does) but began writing children’s books when son, Jack, said he couldn’t find any great page-turning books for kids his age.

He’s been called the busiest man in publishing, and that’s not just because of his own books. For the past decade, James has been devoting more and more of his time to championing books and reading. From the James Patterson Pageturner Awards, to ReadKiddoRead.com (a website which recommends great books for kids of all ages) and his scholarships, book donation programmes and founding partnership of Booktrust’s Children’s Reading Fund, James has focused on passing on his passion for reading to kids everywhere.

As he says himself, ‘If I can help to make books and reading more important in children’s lives, I’ll be a happy man’.
