Summary

"I've got you, and you've got me - so we'll be all right . . ."

One day, adventurous Mouse determines to set off to the bright lights of the spectacular city, accompanied by his friend Bear. But the city is full of distractions and dangers, and Mouse might need his steadfast friend more than he realises . . .

A follow-up to The Marvellous Moon Map, this is Teresa and David's second lyrical and atmospheric tale of Mouse, Bear, and their touching friendship.
