What is The Schoolmouse about?

Flora is no ordinary mouse. Born in a school, she teaches herself to read by watching the children in the classroom. Her family thinks learning is a silly waste of time, but Flora is determined to discover more about the world beyond their nest. When danger threatens the mice living beneath the school, Flora’s remarkable reading skills become their greatest hope. Can one clever little mouse save her family before it is too late?
