Have you ever found yourself tossing and turning on your bed unable to get some much-needed shut-eye because the deafening silence of the night suddenly sounds like a jamboree? People snore, cats meow, crickets cry, dogs bark, birds chirp, your bed creaks, and your stomach growls. Have you ever tossed and turned because you couldn’t stop thinking of that delicious homemade pie just waiting to be devoured?
Pip, a chubby mouse with floppy ears and a drooping tummy, who only stops eating when his arms get tired, devours an entire apple pie in the middle of the night. Feeling like a swollen tube of toothpaste, Pip rolls off the windowsill and falls into a magical world where an unforgettable journey awaits. This begins an inconceivable friendship, a delightful fantasy, a vivid adventure, and a magical journey. Will unrelenting teamwork, unyielding commitment, unshakable friendship, and a host of zany and unforgettable characters help Pip back to his warm comfy bed where he can feel snug as a bug and get some much-needed shuteye?
Ma’s Apple Pie is the second book in the trilogy. It is a story of fantasy and magic that promises to knock your socks off.
Would you be totally thunderstruck, slap your forehead, shake your head and stare with eyes as big as frying pans if you found a chubby mouse with floppy ears and a drooping, rumbling tummy tucked under the blankets of your warm cozy bed? Would you scratch your head and mutter, “This just can’t be possible! It must be a full moon… it simply must be! There’s absolutely no other logical explanation!” if you found a furry, black cat dressed in overalls curled up atop your bed speaking with the mouse about the circumstances that landed them into the bedroom in the first place? If you think this could never happen, think again! This is exactly what happened to a 10-year-old boy named Joseph and his grandpa named Grandpa… and this is just the beginning of an absolutely madcap adventure filled with the wackiest, zaniest characters you’ll ever meet.
From a cozy bedroom, to a magical cave, to a buried treasure chest and down what seems to be a never-ending tunnel Joseph, Grandpa, Pip the Mouse, Diddles the cat together with a young girl named Emma who Joseph thinks is a pretty as a button, find themselves dangling perilously over a deep, rocky gorge. Countless characters offer to help the group out of the gorge, but the unthinkable happens.
