Gr 2–4—Henry Whiskers lives in Queen Mary's historical dollhouse at Windsor Castle. In fact, 25 generations of Whiskers have resided at the dollhouse. But now that renovations are being made, the Whiskers must evacuate their home. Henry, along with his best friend, who happens to be his cousin Jeremy, goes on an adventure to rescue his sister Isabel from the rats who live in Rat Alley. It is dangerous, and Henry must summon great courage. Along the way he makes unexpected friends and learns there is more to the world than meets the eye. Henry is a lovable character who is loyal and brave. The text flows well, making this selection ideal for either independent readers or for classroom read-alouds. Black-and-white spot illustrations open each short chapter.
VERDICT Fast-paced and sure to appeal to young fans of animal adventure.
