Flora is absolutely not like the other mice living in the walls. While her parents and siblings spend all their time scrounging for crumbs and hiding from danger, Flora is focused on getting an education. Every day, she quietly observes the kindergarten class in her country schoolhouse, paying close attention to the lessons until she actually learns how to read. Her family thinks she is wasting her time with useless human letters, but Flora knows her new skill is incredibly valuable. When a professional exterminator visits the schoolroom and leaves behind dangerous, sweet-smelling pellets, the hungry mouse family is ready to feast. It is up to Flora to read the warning labels and stop them before it is too late. Armed with her sharp mind and a powerful vocabulary, she must find a way to outsmart the exterminator and guide her family to safety. This clever, suspenseful tale shows that knowledge truly is the ultimate survival tool.
