Summary:For the field mice, the boundary of the garden is the edge of the world. But one little field mouse is determined to discover the wide world beyond the burrow - even if she isn't supposed to fly. With her knack for engineering and help from an experienced mouse aviator, she defies the other field mice and sets off on a daring journey. Could it be that she inspired Amelia Earhart's pioneering aviation career? Amelia Earhart dreamed of becoming a pilot after she attended an airshow, and went on to defy gender barriers when she became the first female to fly non-stop across the Atlantic.

Author Notes:Torben Kuhlmann lives and works in Hamburg as a freelance children's author and illustrator. He studied illustration and communications design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. He wrote and illustrated his first picture book, Lindbergh: the Tale of a Flying Mouse , in 2012 as his final thesis, and it was published in 2014 by NordSüd Verlag. It quickly became a bestseller and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Three more mouse adventures followed and were equally successful. In 2024, the tenth anniversary was celebrated by the publication of Earhart , the fifth book in the series. However, a few mouse-free books have also crept into the repertoire during the last ten years, including Moletown and The Gray City .

David Henry Wilson was born in London in 1937. As well as being a translator, he is a playwright and children's author, best known for his Jeremy James books. He lives in Somerset, England, and has two surviving children and three grandchildren.
