Twelve-year-old Mouse was abandoned by her mother in an amusement park and has survived for three months by carefully following her list of Rules to Live By, but when a nosy girl and an impending storm threaten to expose Mouse’s hiding place, it might take more than rules to keep her safe.
Twin sisters team up—despite drastically different personalities—to save their family from a bitter witch’s curse in this rich and atmospheric middle grade novel.
