Book Cover & Preview Text
In the beautiful city of Boston lived a mouse named Ace. Ace was a small, brownish, grayish-colored mouse with immense ears. He had no friends and often got made fun of. He lived in an alley and ate trash. One day, Ace decided to take a walk and look for food. He was eating some food from a nearby dumpster when he saw a moving triangle in the sky. He watched as it moved in a circle and got closer and closer, when all of a sudden, Ace heard a loud “keeeeeeyaaahhh!” He sprinted down the sidewalk with fright. He looked behind him and realized it was Homer the hawk! Homer was a hawk that always chased him around. Ace ran for his life. He ran into a door hundreds of people were walking through. He looked back and Homer was gone. Ace was confused. He had never seen so many people in one place. It was loud, too, like a rocket blasting off. He didn't realize it, but he had walked into the famous Fenway Park. Ace wished he had smaller ears.
