About This Book
Nora is the loudest middle mouse you've ever met, and she’s not afraid to make some noise! When no one seems to notice her, she turns up the volume—slamming, banging, and crashing—because sometimes being heard means shaking things up. But what happens when all the noise suddenly stops?
