Courage, kindness, and adventure abounds in this charming, illustrated chapter book about a little mouse who finds the perfect home with some help from new friends.

When Mona the Mouse stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of a storm, she desperately hopes they'll let her stay. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need at the grandest hotel in Fernwood Forest, where animals come from far and wide for safety, luxury, and comfort.

But the Heartwood Hotel is not all acorn soufflés and soft moss-lined beds. Danger lurks nearby. As Mona teams up with the others to ward it off, she'll discover that this hotel is more than a warm place to spend the night. It might also be a home.

This heartwarming illustrated chapter book will delight newly independent readers and send them scurrying for the second book in the series, The Greatest Gift.
