Fergus and Zeke
by Kate Messner
illustrated by Heather Ross
Classroom pet Fergus wants to go along on the class trip to the museum! Not wanting to be left behind, he sneaks along by hiding in a student's backpack. While at the museum, Fergus discovers many exciting things, including another mouse named Zeke! His new friend helps him navigate the large, busy museum, but then Fergus realizes that he may miss the school bus ride home if he doesn't find his class! Will he find his class before they leave the museum?
Fergus and Zeke is the first book in a fun new series! Its short chapters and fun, engaging illustrations make this a great choice for newly independent readers looking for a chapter book. I'm looking forward to the next adventure of Fergus and Zeke!
