INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Voigt, Cynthia

Young Fredle

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Louise Yates. House mouse Fredle finds himself banished to the great outdoors. He longs for home, but it takes an extended odyssey before he returns there. As in any epic, he encounters dangers, learns new skills, and comes back changed. The adventures are gripping and mouse-plausible while the language is spare and wry. Voigt is in top form: warm without sentimentality, wise without pretension.
