Nicholas: A Maine Tale
by Peter Arenstam
illustrated by Karen Busch Holman
To Nicholas, a small field mouse from Massachusetts, family is everything!
A lovely leather journal chronicles all the important events of Nicholas’s
family history. When it is destroyed in a flood, Nicholas will set off
on a journey in search of his uncle and a copy of the precious journal.
He crosses the state of Massachusetts in Book One, but his adventures will
take him on to Maine (Book Two) following a cousin who has taken the copy
of the journal with him when he traveled down east.
Nicholas will discover just how large and diverse a state Maine is as he
searches for his cousin Francis. Along the way, he’ll learn a great deal
about the state—the animals that live there, the geography, industries,
and even the state’s history. He’ll make many new friends and perhaps even
bump into an old friend on his travels across the great state of Maine.
