(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Small. A wind-up toy mouse and his child undertake a dangerous quest in order to become self-winding. Although this cult classic has been packaged to appeal to middle-grade readers, the content isn't really appropriate for that age group. With its parable-like flavor and sly commentary on the human condition, it will likely once again find its place as a cult classic among high school and college students.
