Excerpt
You choose: Cat. Lepidoptera
“Okay,” Frankie says. “Here goes.”
You can hear beeping from the other side of the rubble. The self-destruct starts talking. “Does not compute, twenty three minutes remaining, and counting.”
The others all exchange looks, but there’s not much time for anything else before a flash of sound and light hits your senses. When you pick yourself up off the floor, it’s hard to stand up.
And then you look down at your paws – PAWS!?!?! You squeak in horror. Somehow, you’ve been turned into a mouse.
Other mice are turning around and around in circles, squeaking in terror. Although a few are casually washing their whiskers as if nothing is wrong.
“Quick, this way,” a mouse says. You’re pretty sure it’s Frankie. She leads all the other mice through the rubble toward you and then makes a megaphone out of old posters and a bit of wire. It takes a bit of yelling through the megaphone, but the police do eventually come down to see what’s happening. Once they see the mouse yelling through the megaphone, they grin. A voice booms out very loudly. “We’d better send for Frankie’s mother.”

After weeks of living at Frankie’s house, drinking terrible potions and getting changed into rubber balls, strawberry plants and jellyfish, you’re all turned back into people.
Back at home, you receive a mousepad with a cat on it in the mail. On it are the words, I survived The Great Mouse Incident. Never Again. But in the end, it’s not so bad, because becoming a mouse made you discover your love of cheese. You move to France and become the best cheesemaker in the world, crafting all kinds of specialty cheeses. Royalty and celebrities are the only people who can afford your most expensive product, Crafty Cupcake’s Camembert. Each of these cheeses is worth a time machine. And that’s the best part, because you discover there’s plenty more adventure to be had by going back in time.
If you make different choices you can blow up the entire museum, join the bad guys, or find your own mouse companion – a diabolical varmint who will plot revenge against you from under the kitchen cupboards.

Hilarious fun! by Lee Murray
Hilarious fun ensues as Mr Adams’ (soft as cheese) and Mrs Xavier’s (possibly ex-army, she’s so strict) classes climb aboard the bus for a field trip to the Greenville Natural History Museum. The new kid, you don’t know anyone. There’s Frankie, who has invented a transmogrification shrink-grow thingy, a girl named Kennedy, and possibly someone named Steve... But at the museum, the Bugman Jeremy Wilder, confiscates Frankie’s transmogrification remote and after that everything goes wrong. It’s up to you to make the decisions, but there are giant spiders, antlions, spies, and a fake janitor roaming the museum. Plus, Jeremy the Bugman intends to take over the world. I really hope you make it out alive.
Fantastically fun, frantically fast-paced, and occasionally informative, this you-choose adventure will keep the kids happy for hours. A must-read for middle grade bug lovers.
This is a wonderfully performed 7 CD Children's audio book, made up of three books from the "Run, Rasputin. Run!" series of books. Expertly narrated by Pat Fraley. Your entire family will enjoy these exceptional tales!
