Joe's granpa has an expensive new computer with the very latest computer mouse—a Megamouse. When Joe and his friend Kelly sneak into Granpa's room to play games on his computer, they discover that Megamouse can see and hear and communicate with them. But Megamouse is not content to be confined to Granpa's room. With the help of Granpa's pet rat, Cleo, Megamouse decides to explore the world outside. But there he is in great danger from the ferocious bulldog, Hogarth, and his sinister owner. Megamouse maybe a fantastic aid on the computer screen, but how will he cope with the real world?
I'm an author based in the north of England. Although I've spent most of my working life in schools and libraries, I've also had seven children's books published, as well as about 60 short stories in various magazines in the UK and Australia. In 2012 I set up a child-friendly story website, Megamousebooks.com, to offer free online children's stories, downloadable ebooks and puzzles. It's proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one. I've also been slowly producing free, abridged ebook versions of classic English novels, and selections of well-known poetry. These are now available from my second website, Englishliteratureebooks.com.
