Helena is a big-sister mouse to three younger siblings, living a snug and well-fed life within the ancient walls of the Cranston family home. When the Cranston humans decide to sail away to England to find a husband for one of their daughters, the Cranston mice stow away in the name of family solidarity. The adventure begins as Helena, her siblings, and their humans embark on a life-changing voyage into the world of titled humans and titled mice, with surprise endings for all. Set during Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee, this story is about whether the Cranston heroes will manage to squeak by or go entirely overboard. This beautifully illustrated tale, set in 1887 on a grand cruise ship to England, is full of laughs, near misses, and surprises, encapsulating an irresistible adventure of the tiny creatures who secretly live among us humans.
