Mousenapped: An Inter-species Adventure (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Jamie the house mouse is too sympathetic for his own good. True, he'd gotten a generous housemate and a bosom buddy because of it. But lonely Sara misinterprets his friendliness and carries him away to a strange and hostile place. His unconventional friends, a human and a fierce grasshopper mouse, must find a way to rescue him. The odds are stacked against them and there may be more at stake than Jamie's safety. For Sara's ability to see things that others cannot frightens her mother. Can the quest to save one mouse also heal a human family rift? Mousenapped weaves elements of natural science, herbalism and mysticism into a delightful, well-paced story about a girl, her mother and aunt, and two mice. The story features pleasantly complex characters both human and animal. The author artfully avoids the expected, both in her characters and in her story line, offering small surprises along the way to keep even adult readers interested. D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review: "From a child who sees too much and defies the perceptions and anticipations of adults in her world to mice who have a vested interest in preserving their unusual friendship against all odds, Mousenapped is anything but predictable with its vivid story of protagonists who hold special abilities and form special bonds." . . . "So if it's something different you're looking for in middle school reading - something that incorporates new age philosophy and different perceptions into its story - then Mousenapped is the item of choice. It's highly recommended for its more complex, bigger picture of the world and the beliefs of those who inhabit it ... whether they be mouse or woman."

Autor

Jinjer Stanton is a yoga teacher in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is also an amateur naturalist and photographer. It is Jinjer's passion in life to observe the world and, if she can manage it, make sense of it. She wrote her new book,Mousenapped for three reasons: 1) because she has recently met a number of people who had talents when they were young that were, essentially, beaten out of them, 2) because she herself always felt like an outsider in her family, and 3) because she is fascinated by both grasshopper mice and the capacity for creatures of differing species to befriend one another.

She served as a minister for several years at a new thought church where she met several people who started out life like Mousenapped protagonist Sara. They had abilities that their parents couldn't value or believe in so those parents did everything in their power (often, with the best intentions) to weed those abilities out of their child. Jinjer is an herbalist who has experience with making salves like Aunt Nellie in the story.

Jinjer is the author of the Midwest Book Awards finalist Yoga for Every Room in Your House. She wrote Yoga for Every Room in Your House, because of her own struggles with finding a way to do yoga on a regular basis. Her writing appears in a several publications including The Edge: Soul of the Cities (www.soulofthecities.com) and Essential Wellness (www.tcwellness.com). Articles by Jinjer have been translated into both German and Italian.
