A cute story with a good bit of magic that is sure to entertain younger audience members. There are also good life lessons with hard work and honesty woven into the story which are great. The story drags on for much longer than it needs to. It's about 200 pages longer than it needs to be. The outcome of the story is extremely obvious and every event of the story is predictable. However, it is a cute story with good messages. Megan Miller has spent time on s semi-deserted island while her scientist mother did research on climate change. You'd think nothing would frighten her but you'd be wrong. When she hears that her mother is heading to the Australian Outback without her to research hairy-nosed wombats, Megan is terrified because she will have to attend public school and live with her father and unmet stepmother. The plot thickens when Uncle Fred gives her a Thumbtop, a miniature computer that is a perfect fit for mouse paws. The Big Cheese, the top mouse, realizes that access to mouse-size computers will put his "people" on a par with humans. Three mice, Curly, Larry, and Julia, part of the Cleveland Clan, fly to Oregon with Megan but it is up to TM3, or Trey, to make the first interspecies contact. Lonely Megan is thrilled with her new friends and even develops and signs a treaty that will protect both humans and mice.Uncle Fred starts a company to manufacture the Thumbtops and all is well. I really liked this story. Parts of it were chuckle-filled as Talking Mouse 3 interpreted MSL, Mouse Sign Language. The whole mouse culture was cleverly developed as Trey introduced us to mouse teamwork as they worked together to solve problems. We even learn about the classes mice take such as smiling in which Trey got an A. The illustrations showed how the mice operated a human-sized computer to surf the web and send e-mails. There is a sequel in the works which i will certainly read.
What do You think about Muis.net (2014)?
another mouse adventure enhanced by the creation of a computer just their size, fun fast paced
