I love how this book is combined with history. The Great Depression was a very hard time, and this book describes some of the hardship very well. I am overjoyed to have books like this one. Without them, we wouldn't be interested in our history. And before we know it, the US is doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

I liked the book because it's really funny. I liked that it has the same story in a different way. I like that it has the same characters as the original series. I loved some of the new personalities that they gave the characters.

This book is about two mice named Tumtum and Nutmeg. The first adventure they have is to get rid of the childrens' evil aunt. With the help of General Marchmouse they get rid of the evil aunt. Their next adventure is to get General Marchmouse out of a cage at the childrens' school and back to his house in the gun cupboard. They get him out, but in a strange way. They use mice ballerinas on pogo sticks. Last, they battle pirates when their ship gets stranded. I liked this book because it has an amazing story plot and pulls you in.

The Beginning of Everything, by Robyn Schneider, is a novel that describes the life of Ezra Faulkner and his outlook on life - that everyone has their own personal tragedy that eventually changes them. When his own personal tragedy strikes he has to learn to make the best of it and move on in his life. I really liked this book because it is inspiring, funny, and just a good story. I liked hearing Ezra's philosophies and ideas, and I know this is a book I will never forget.

This book is a really great book. It has some of the characters and settings from the other two books. There is one part where it's really confusing, but you then understand it. This book is really good, but not my favorite of the whole series.
