Mouse is a fluffy cat who was born a runt and daughter of a protector—a group of cats destined to protect humans from vermin and evil. Despite the name she received because of her small size, Mouse has giant plans. After she rescues a few of her friends from an animal-control facility, Mouse cannot help but notice the other trapped animals certain to face an unspeakable fate. Trusting her calling and courage, Mouse allies herself with a rat, cockatoo, bulldog, a fancy mouse, weasel, raccoon, and some jazz-loving alley cats to free the animals. But little does she know that their path forward is full of dangers that include vicious dogs, coyotes, crossing roads, and self-doubt. Will Mouse have the courage to overcome her insecurities and lead the group to safety? In this tale of adventure and courage, a tiny cat with a big heart takes on a special mission to rescue a group of animals from a horrible fate.

With a limited number of days to react, the team must find a way to stop the plan. First, they must convince a council representing the world’s religions to delay the soldiers. They must also confront the demons and tragedies of the past, and learn to trust each other.

Chief is a Protector, a cat who has a calling to protect humans from vermin and evil. Nicknamed the Bronx Bruiser, he moves with his owner, Sam, to a high-rise complex that has gone green and uses cats rather than poison to drive out the rodents.

She struggles to live up to her fathers significant reputation and soon realizes that she must solve her problems not through brute strength but through alliances with others. She works with Ladie, an advice-giving canary; Carl, an escaped cockatoo who hangs out with pigeons; and Little Foot, a small, fancy mouse with very good ears. When a group of hoodlum rats, led by a deviant lab rat named Bragar, break the truce between the cats and the rats, a battle for the apartment complex ensues. Faced with losing her home and all her father has fought for, Mouse and her allies must stand up to Bragar. Can a small amount of courage have giant impact? In this novel for middle readers, a small, fluffy cat teams up with a canary, a cockatoo, and a fancy mouse in order to protect their home from a villainous hoodlum rat.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus, first published in 1818, started a phenomeon that has survived the years and permeated many aspects of popular culture. It has spawned numerous films, television programs, books, comics, stage presentations, and the like, and continues to do so today. Like the Frankenstein Monster, this work is made up of many individual parts, some of which are quite different in their specific themes, but all of which relate to Frankenstein in some way. They consider the untold true story of Frankenstein, Glenn Strange's portrayals of the Monster, the portrayals of lesser-known actors who played the character, Peter Cushing and his role as Baron (and Dr.) Frankenstein, the classic film Young Frankenstein co-written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder (who also starred in it), the battles between do-gooders and the Monster and other horror figures, Frankenstein in cartoons--and much more. Each of the 15 essays, all written by the author, is prefaced with explanatory notes that place the essay in its historical perspective, comment on its origin and content, and where appropriate, supplement the text with new, additional, or otherwise relevant information. Richly illustrated.
