“A gem of a story. ”—Booklist (starred review) “A marvelous
heroic journey. ”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A
narrative centering family bonds and new experiences.
”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Newbery Medal winner Lynne
Rae Perkins introduces Violet and Jobie, two house mice exiled to
the wilderness, in an exceptional read-aloud and read-alone for
fans of Skunk and Badger, Nuts to You, and classic animal
stories such as Stuart Little. This thrilling—and
funny!—animal adventure explores themes of friendship, family,
bravery, and the meaning of home. Violet & Jobie in the
Wild is illustrated in black-and-white throughout by the
author. Brother and sister mice Violet and Jobie live a cozy and
comfortable life in a humans’ house, where food is plentiful, and
the television is both educational and entertaining. In fact,
Violet, tucked safely behind a book in the bookcase, loves to watch
nature programs along with the young boy of the family. The boy’s
mother, however, isn’t the biggest fan of mice. When Violet and
Jobie are caught in a trap, the young boy pleads with his mother to
release them, and she agrees. Now Violet and Jobie find themselves
in tall grasses, under tall trees, surrounded by all kinds of
unfamiliar scents and sounds and creatures. In short, they find
themselves in the wild. How will they survive? This short,
generously illustrated novel is packed with action, humor, heart,
friendship, and surprises. Award-winning author Lynne Rae
Perkins’s Violet & Jobie in the Wild will
resonate with readers who love books about animals.
