He's tiny, but while looking for a BIG adventure he is rescued by the ADVENTUREMICE - a brave, determined team who keep all the Mouse Islands safe from harm. Pedro's dream is to show he's heroic enough to join their ranks. And he soon gets the chance to prove himself, when a big scary otter starts causing trouble in the waters nearby . . .

By a celebrated team . . . Illustrated [by Sarah McIntyre] with precise, charming and expressive pictures worth poring over, it takes us into the detailed dwellings of a delightful mouse community . . . Philip Reeve is an expert storyteller * Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week *
Reeve and McIntyre are a classic team * Times *

The first of a perfect full colour adventure series for younger readers . . . young readers will be desperate for the next instalment * LoveReading4Kids *

[Pedro's] longing to have an adventure, and the obstacles to achieving that, are what strike a chord with so many KS1 children. Readers love to cheer him on . . . This is a colour-illustrated chapter book to inspire (day-)dreams and great ambition. It is a short book . . . with a big heart . . . The final pages - a map of The Mouse Islands, 'How to Draw Pedro' and 'About the Authors' - are a great addition to this latest book from the talented Reeve-McIntyre duo, which reflect their humour and their generosity * Books for Topics *
Reeve and McIntyre's wit, charm and silliness ooze throughout the story. The illustrations are bright, bold and totally typical of McIntyre's inimitable style * Just Imagine *
A fun-packed delight * Telegraph, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
As the story dashes along so, too, do the illustrations, which are a delight on every page * Guardian, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
A delightfully told, beautiful tale * Chris Riddell, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
