When you waste your time reading a story (that's been done before), only to find out the protagonist never actually needed to do anything because the villains were always gonna ruin their own plans. You could argue hiding a certain journal was super important, but if he had never been in her house the package would have never been delivered since the villains had already ransacked the place and taken the girl. And even if they got it, would they really read it when they already had the formula in a seperate paper and a sample?

Time stops for no mouse - not even a watchmaker who just stumbled into a conspiracy that is way over his head...
This book was full of mystery and suspense that made it impossible to put down, with the added bonus of it being about a smartly dressed mouse who has a pet ladybug. What's not to love?
If you're looking for a light but engaging read, I highly recommend this book.

This is my comfort book. When I was a kid, I was gifted this book and I loved it so much. Whenever I am feeling sad or anxious, I listen to the audiobook. It is just so filled with charm and whimsy. The world is also uniquely crafted - I've never read anything quite like it.

Me obsequiaron este libro cuando era niña y lo amé locamente, es adorable. Cada que lo veo en mi estante me hace sonreír. Es una aventura entretenida pero sorprendentemente sensible. Tiene un final hermoso, pero me encanta que no sea el clásico final feliz. Ahora quiero las secuelas pero no sé si pueda encontrarlas.
