“Mouse Trax” by M.H. Dixon is a children’s book about the journey of a brave mouse named Another Mouse. He received this name because he was the 17th baby mouse, and he has an amazing adventure that includes suspense, humor and heartfelt moments. Another Mouse had a real desire for knowledge, and he meets several characters including an outspoken owl and a cunning fox. While the book is written for children the story also appeals to adults, especially the satire and wordplay included in the tale. Each chapter was written as a mini adventure that keeps readers turning pages to see what will happen next. Members should read the entire book to learn about the remarkable journey of this brave little mouse. Readers should also enjoy the poetry used to explain situations.

From the sample of "Mouse Trax" by M.H. Dixon, I can confidently say that I am hooked and want to read more. I kind of identify with Mouse, and I know some other family members of mine could connect with him, at least on a metaphorical or symbolic level. Being curious and somewhat adventurous, while also seeming like a bit of an oddball to our family. I think it would be a great read for both children and adults alike. I look forward to finishing the story.

"Mouse Trax" by M.H. Dixon Is filled with humor, suspense and heartwarming moments, according to the excellent review. The author’s style is part prose, part poetry; and children will enjoy the whimsy and rhymes while adults will revel in the satire and the wordplay throughout the narrative. Another Mouse is the name of the protagonist and he seems to go on a hero’s journey throughout the tale. It does seem that children and adults alike will appreciate and maybe even take some knowledge from this story that is such a shareable tale.
