Mouseheart is the tale of a brave young mouse and an explored world. Hopper's mom disappeared and now all he has left is his sister, Pinkie, and his little brother, Pup. But when he is forced into the world of the rats and then stolen to the world of the mice, he has to decide....who is telling the truth? What is hidden in the refugee camps? And how is he the "Chosen One?" I loved Mouseheart. I thought "Listen up, you, you don't usually read books told by mice!" but I decided to give it a go because my aunts recommended it to me, and it was worth it! I would give this book six out of five, but since there's only five stars, I'll have to go with a full 100% awesomeness rating! -- BKS reviews
Hopper was scarred in his caged and becomes a hero
An unoriginal story, yet descriptive writing. A bit too descriptive, in my opinion, as some words were indecipherable. But it was good. I won't say I absolutely adored it, but I can't say that I despised it either. Plus, I don't think using mice as characters was the best idea, but Lisa did her best. The inside illustrations were a welcome surprise.
