Shadow Over Mousehaven Manor
by Mary DeBall Kwitz


I just read this great book! It is called Shadow Over Mousehaven Manor. It was written by Mary DeBall Kwitz. If you would like to know more about this book keep reading.

The book is about a mouse named Minabell who receives a letter that tells her that her aunt Pitty Pat is very ill and was to come to her side immediately. It is two nights before Christmas, and her friends bid her farewell and she starts on her long journey to her aunt's house in Mousehaven. There are dangers that lie ahead: Prairie Pirates (the bad guys) and other dangers. When she reaches her aunt's house (Mousehaven Manor) she gets captured by the Prairie Pirates and tossed into a dungeon where she finds her aunt and one of her friends too. Will they ever get out of the dungeon? Read the book to find out.

What I like about the book is that it is an adventure and mystery combined. The adventure part is the long trip to Mousehaven Manor and facing the dangers on the way there. The mystery is that who is the mastermind of the gang of the Prairie Pirates. My favorite part is when they fight the Prairie Pirates.

I think the theme or message is take risks to save others. I think this book is a great book to read. It is not too short or too long. I think this book is almost as good as a Harry Potter book for me and I am a big Harry Potter fan. If you liked my book report then you will want to read this book.
