The suitcase was all she had left of her family. She watched, perched on a root in the corner, shivering and scared, as the water rushed in, swirling around her bed made of moss, lapping at her table, threatening to wash away her suitcase. Why had no other animal claimed it for its home? When she’d found the stump in the summer, with a mushroom table already in place and the stream nearby, it had seemed too good to be true. And now her latest home, an old hollow stump, was being flooded out by the storm. A dusty hay bale, an abandoned bird’s nest, a prickly thicket-in her short life she had lived in more places than she had whiskers. But Mona the mouse had never had a home-at least not for long.
