Fresh off the heels of King Midnight's rat-army invasion at the Winterberry Ball, Delphine, Alexander, and Cornichonne are on the run, making their way through the far reaches of Peltinore. Unlikely allies pop up at every turn, but so do new enemies. While evading the rats hot on their tails, the trio uncovers new clues about the legendary Threaded tailor mice, including surprising discoveries about Delphine's magical needle. And as Delphine's powers grow stronger, she realizes she may need to head straight into Midnight's lair and confront the villain herself.

Will Delphine solve the mystery of the Threaded and save the kingdom from the nefarious rat king before it's too late?

Oh me, oh my!

What an ADVENTURE!

If you caught the mention of a famous fairytale character earlier, you weren't mistaken.  This is a story featuring one of Cinderella's mice, and she's the bravest of them all.  Tackling goodness knows in the first story, but this time around, there's legions of rats after her and her magical silver needle...each desirous to find her and serve her up on a platter to their leader...MIDNIGHT.  As scary as he sounds...he's probably worse, actually, but there's more going on there than simply evil...things that come to light later on as the story unfolds.

Along Delphine's journey to avenge all the lives lost, and put a stop to the reign of terror, we get to know the mouse-ling at heart...in more ways than one!  You see, Delphine is still trying to uncover her past, and the past of the Threaders, things that are lost or thought to be myth at this point in time, but her existence, as well as her ability to wield the magic of the needle tell us otherwise.  She's determined to meet all her goals, but no mouse (nor man!) can do such a task all by themselves.  It always comes down to just who you have in your corner...your friends...and Delphine, while strong of heart, is generous with kindness, and friendship as well, thus making her motley crew of followers, the best CHOSEN family a mouse could have.  You'll laugh at their antics, smile at their not-so-hidden feelings, and gasp at the feats they pull off in the name of love.  As stalwart as Delphine may be, that same strength is mirrored in their belief in her.  

It's a touching tail...I mean, tale, filled with adventure, danger, personal growth, magic, and heart.  It sounds like an interesting mix, but it made a WONDERFUL story that will have readers young and old tied up in knots until the final pages, as their dear friends face things no one should have to, but eventually someone must...and who better than our brave little Delphine, and her merry band of friends?
