Summary

"Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!"
From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don't even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and ... a pig?!? All perfectly imperfect, how can they possibly compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School? Find out what really matters in the end ....

We are all perfectly imperfect, and no one demonstrates this better than Master Mouse and his flawed team of Questers who seem doomed to fail from the outset. Unaware of the unique skills each brings, and all keen to suppress their individual flaws, the ragged team struggle to work together, all with the goal to fulfill the graduation requirements for Quest School.

Gemma Giraffe, following revelations of her illiteracy, opts to stay behind. Slow Sally Slug gets distracted, and Robert, in his single-minded focus on food, runs off after spying a decision apple tree. Eager to prove his capabilities and overcome his low self-esteem, Master Mouse is excited to go off on his own but ... something unexpected happens! Will the team members manage to solve their task?

Through a hilarious series of mishaps and misunderstandings, this story shows children how vulnerability brings us closer to each other. It demonstrates how embracing our perceived weaknesses helps us cooperate while acknowledging our individuality and diversity. Many children's books address the challenges of childhood, coping with life's lessons and social dynamics, but this book is uniquely positioned to support the current wave of awareness around the dichotomy of inclusion and diversity and shows children how to feel their feelings and be proud of their uniqueness.
