About this ebook
Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull!
When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas, this little mouse was the hero of his own story.
A Mouse Called Miika is an epic adventure story on a miniature scale. It's a tale of mice and men (and more mice). It is about one independent mouse who gets fed up with the other mice, and sets out on a quest of his own to prove that cheese exists, and learns to appreciate other creatures. It is also a tale of great love (of cheese) and great danger. And learning the lesson that, with cheese, as with life, what matters most is not how strongly you smell, but how strong you are on the inside.
Funny, cheeky, wise, and packed full of Matt Haig's signature warmth. This is set to become a year-round children's favorite.

illustrated, urban-fantasy, magic, mouse, bravery, humor, fantasy, fanciful, friendship***** At the veriest northern tip of Finland a tiny mouse was born and neglected and lonely. Even though he makes many friends and had adventures, there is only one other mouse, and she is rather unpleasant. There is a whole lot more to the story which is populated with some really fantastic interpretive drawings, but all in all, I think this quote rather sums it up: "An impossibility is just a possibility you don't understand yet." A wonderful book with a universal message! I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Random House Children's/ Knopf Books for Young Readers via NetGalley. Thank you!
