Alex, and their friend Tibby Rose, have joined the underground rebel organization FIG. In quick measure, FIG orders Alex and Alice go undercover in Souris to infiltrate Queen Eugenia's palace while Alistair and Tibby Rose are sent to discover Gerander's secret paths, which may be the key Gerandans need to triumph and for the triplets to rescue their parents. Enemy spies, attacking eagles, and blizzarding mountaintops seem all the more challenging when there is a lack of good cheese available, but these four young mice respond with endless creativity and determination.

With growing concern Sandy waddles off to think and do what she does best--eat. As she nibbles on a milkweed leaf she thinks about MaMa's words. Sandy gets dizzy with all the thinking. Are these changes what MaMa went through? Is that why MaMa knows the answers to Sandy's questions?

Who could forget the various phases when they&’re presented in the form of a dog—solid when eating dinner, liquid when pouring herself into her basket, and gas when leaping erratically after a fly? Serge Bloch&’s whimsical illustrations extend the humor—and the love—in this tale of a child, a dog, and the energy that abounds in their world.Extensive notes at the end of the book define and explain the physics subjects included in the poems.
