My local branch of the LAPL just got "Mousenet", and I am about a quarter of the way through it right now. I agree with Mister Twister; it's a great fun read. Although you can tell it's a children's novel, it does not feel too young for adults. Megan Miller, the human protagonist, is ten years old, which is presumably the age of the intended reader; not for LITTLE children, then.
"Mousenet" is an intelligent-mice fantasy with enough plausible detail to seem like science fiction. At this point in the story, the human girl and the main mouse have the potential to change civilization, but there's plenty that can go wrong. At 416 pages, this is not a hasty read. Excuse me while I get back to it.
