Digital ARC received from publisher via netGalley.
This is the story of a community of church mice and their head mistress Hidegarde. Her duty is to keep all of the mice safe and much sure baby mice are nesting in a safe spot and not getting notices by the church members. If they are noticed to often then the Great X will come and devastate there population numbers. Plus it is almost the time for the Blessing of the Animals and they are praying it doesn't rain or else they will have to face another arch nemesis the Cat.
All in all this was a nice gentle tween read. I would give this to older tweens because of the expansive vocabulary but a reader who is not discouraged by unfamiliar words would also enjoy this one. This is a pretty gentle, quiet read and with the many books out there it is nice to have a low-key novel to read once in awhile.
I loved the illustrations scattered throughout to help break up the pages and at the beginning of chapters. I can't wait to see the finished product and see the final art work. If you are a fan of Lois Lowry I recommend reading this one.
