    The Elephant Circuit by Robert A. Heinlein - The exposition was easily the biggest John Watts had ever seen, and he'd seen them all. Yet, besides its size, there was something else strange about this fair–it was just a little out of this world! 
    Rain streamed across the bus's window. John Watts peered out at wooded hills, content despite the weather. As long as he was rolling, moving, traveling, the ache of loneliness was somewhat quenched. He could close his eyes and imagine that Martha was seated beside him.

    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    The mouse ran up the clock. 
    The clock struck one, 
    The mouse ran down, 
    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
    Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.

    “This delightful, imaginative story…is action-packed and loads of fun.” — (Editor’s Pick) Booklife  
    “Ness adds emotional depth with…memorable characters, heart, and humor.” — Kirkus Reviews  
    “Rolo became so real to me… I loved every character.” — Online Book Club  
    The cats have overthrown the hoomans! Rolo hopes to find his hooman ancestors when he lands on his ancient homeworld, Earth. But instead, the aloof feline bureaucats throw him in the pound. He escapes and hides on an airship, where he meets Ailey, a quirky girl with a troubled past. She offers to help Rolo find his people in the lost city of Zorx if he helps her run away. But bounty hunters are on their tail — a cranky hairless cat and foolishly philosophical apes. With help from a one-eyed alley cat and a fortune-teller elephant, Rolo and Ailey must find where they truly belong in this catopia — a world where all animals are equal, but cats are more equal than others. A smart, hilarious, and genuinely touching tale of runaways, resilience, and family. And cats.  
    Age 8+. Series may be read in any order.
