To Nicholas, a small field mouse from Massachusetts, family is
everything! A lovely leather journal chronicles all the important events
of Nicholas's family history. When it is destroyed in a flood, Nicholas
sets off on a journey in search of his uncle and a copy of the precious
journal. He crosses the state of Massachusetts in Book One and his
adventures take him on to Maine (Book Two) following a cousin who has
taken the copy of the journal with him when he traveled down east.
Nicholas discovers just how large and diverse a state Maine is as he
searches for his cousin Francis. Along the way, he'll learn a great deal
about the state--the animals that live there, the geography, industries,
and even the state's history. He'll make many new friends and perhaps
even bump into an old friend on his travels across the great state of
Maine.
Book Two in a four-book series about Nicholas's adventures in the
Northeast.
