The mouse colony is running out of food. Wix is a red mouse that is the best scavenger in the colony. Pict, his friend, is the Master Orim’s daughter and desperately wants to help. The humans have vanished, and it is getting harder and harder for the colony to find food. On top of this, the wolves and cats are out to get them. Wix and Pict both go on different journeys, and meet lots of people along the way in an attempt to save their colony.
I really liked the art style of the book! I didn’t love how the storyline kept jumping to completely different things, for example introducing the cats as the main enemies and then quickly changing it to the wolves. Kids who like animals as the main characters will enjoy this. Overall though, I did like the character development, especially of Pict.
It does not describe the age of the main character since they are a mouse, but Wix and Pict appear to be young.
