Outermost Mouse Library Binding – May 19, 2026

A tiny-but-mighty little mouse faces down an incoming storm to protect her home. A tribute to courage and the rugged beauty of Cape Cod from Newbery Honor-winning author Lauren Wolk."A triumphant tale of defending what you love.″ --Kirkus, starred reviewThe Outermost Mouse loves her life at the tip of the beach.

When the sky goes dark and a cold wind rises, the little mouse must do everything she can to protect her home.
