By William Steig
Abel and Amanda are blissfully happy. The two mice have been married for over a year and live in a lovely home with no reason to worry. Until, one summer afternoon, a sudden storm carries off Amanda's scarf.
As Abel rushes after it, he too is caught by the wind and swept far away to a deserted island...
Stranded but never defeated, Abel tries everything - constructing bridges, boats, catapults and stepping stones. But as winter draws in, the brave little mouse must endure hunger, danger and the ever-present threat of a nasty owl. Against these impossible odds, can Abel find his way back home?
