Chester Midshipmouse

Meet Chester, a young mouse living in the nooks and crannies of the US Navel Academy's Bancroft Hall, the largest single dormitory in the world He and the other midshipmice in the Naval Mouse Academy look up to the four thousand human students living in the "Rooms Below," mimicking their traditions, lingo, and challenging adventures. The problem is, the humans don't feel the same way; they as see the mice as, you guessed it, pests

Hilarious and suspenseful conflict ensues as the rodents carry out what they believe to be a prestigious boot camp of their own, marching with pretzel-stick drill rifles, using sour-ball candy as ammunition, and rigging a pulley system with a tape dispenser While the military equipment is different, the lessons learned by mice and humans are the same: teamwork, loyalty, leadership, honor, bravery and perseverance are what it takes to earn your stripes, no matter how small.

About the Author
Weisberg, Susan: - Susan Weisberg's inspiration for Chester Midshipmouse came in the form of a letter from the United States Naval Academy suggesting that any food parcels mailed to her sons should be sent in tightly sealed plastic boxes. Why? Bancroft Hall, the academy's stately gray stone 150-year-old dormitory, the largest dormitory in the world which houses over 4000 naval students and contains more than four miles of hallways, is also home to mice. Susan's two midshipmen brought home larger than life stories during their seven overlapping years in Annapolis where they trained to become naval and marine officers. They shared tales of discipline, honor, courage, commitment, evasion, capture and escape...well, those last three had to do with mice, but perhaps we had better let Chester tell his own story. Weisberg holds a degree in nursing, and has worked in hospital emergency and urgent care. She has also freelanced as a food writer and food stylist for a large city newspaper, progressing in her writing from mousse to mice! The author and her husband have three young adult children. They live in a coastal New Jersey town where she recently escorted a wayfaring group of mice to safety from her kitchen during a cold snap.
