About This Book
Crunchy leaves crack beneath tiny paws as Sidney Mouse and his family scurry quietly through Somerset Farms. The sweet scent of fresh grass fills the air, but danger lurks—Charlie the owl’s sharp eyes are searching for a snack! Can Sidney outwit the hungry bird and still make it to the big soccer game? There’s more to this adventure than just a game; it’s about bravery and learning to forgive.
