Description
In Book 5 of the Carlo the Mouse series, the intrepid but reckless Carlo finds himself in the outside world at last. Carlo has just recovered from the chickenpox and is covered in green ointment. When he peers outside his home entrance, Carlo is shocked to find the hospital cat, Fidel, waiting to pounce on him. Fidel is accompanied by Carlo’s enemies, the hospital administrator, the hospital exterminator, and the hospital chef. They gleefully await Carlo’s destruction.
Much to the chagrin of Carlo and his parents, they have plugged up all the escape hatches with concrete. But Carlo’s papa has built a secret escape route to the outside world. The family arrives safely outside, but how will they survive? Dangers await them at every turn. At first, Carlo is mesmerized because he has never been outside. Carlo’s parents try to keep him safe, but Carlo gets in trouble because he doesn’t follow rules. Does his narrow escape teach him a lesson? Will the family find a path to a new safe haven? Will they be able to return to their comfortable home inside the hospital walls? I will have to wait until Book 6 is released to find an answer.
