Ralph the mouse's story continues when Ralph zooms away to summer camp on his motorcycle and finds out that camp is not all fun and games. A watchdog, mouse-hungry cat, and troubled boy lead Ralph into fur-raising adventures.
Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary ramps up the humor and adventure in the second book in the Ralph S. Mouse trilogy.
With a motorcycle to rev and the open road to see, Ralph S. Mouse is itching to run away from his overprotective family! But once he escapes to a summer campground nearby, the horrors of the wild make him doubt his plan. Angry cats, scary watchdogs, and grouchy gophers are only the half of it...
But then he befriends Garf, a sad and friendless boy at the camp. Though he wants desperately to be back home with his relatives, Ralph realizes that he may need to help Garf before he can help himself.
Runaway Ralph is perfect for independent reading or for shared reading at home or in a classroom. This fun story is the second of a trilogy, along with The Mouse and the Motorcycle and Ralph S. Mouse, all inspired by the author's hope to create appealing books for boys and girls—and by the sight of her son playing with toy cars.
When Ralph S. Mouse takes a spin on a boy's toy motorcycle, he makes a new friend and his life changes forever. New adventures are exciting when you've got a motorcycle! Paperback books and unabridged sets of audiobooks are both available. The audiobooks are read by a very talented actor, B.D. Wong. Each book comes on two CDs and runs about two hours.
My kids love the series and this is the only book we're missing.
