Mistflower is a friendly little mouse. But as the long days of summer draw to a close she increasingly dreads the loneliness winter brings. Her prayers for help are answered in a way she could never have imagined when a small kitten is dumped in the garden of the abandoned vicarage which is her home. Terrified, but unable to bring herself to desert Silk, the courageous mouse finds herself in a life changing adventure. Together the two of them survive the destruction of their home, find many new friends and make a dangerous enemy. Now all they need to do is survive her scheming.
