Babymouse has a big problem . . . every day it is
same thing. Get up, get dressed, brush her whiskers, eat breakfast, and run to
catch the school bus. She wonders where all the glamour is in the things she
does everyday.
She wants to be just like the girl that is considered the queen,
Felicia Furrypaws. Felicia always looks so nice. Everyone want to talk with
Felicia. She is the most popular student in school. Babymouse's best friend is
Wilson the Weasel.
To help make her life a little more exciting, Babymouse finds
herself daydreaming all the time. One time she is a queen, another time she is a
private eye, and yet another time she is Cinderella. Babymouse also daydreams
that she is a captain of a spaceship, a wild west hero, and the assistant to Dr.
Frankenstein. All of these dreams help Babymouse survive the day to day struggle
of school life.
One day she hears that Felicia is having a party. Babymouse
waits for her invitation . . . and waits . . . and waits. It never comes.
Felicia then bribes Babymouse to give her Babymouse's book report with the
promise of giving her an invitation. Babymouse doesn't care that she isn't going
to turn in a book report, she only cares about the party. But the party turns
out to not be what Babymouse expected and she must make some hard decisions on
what is really important to her.
