  Once upon a time, in a mouse community in the heart of the forest, there arose a concern that echoed through the tiny homes and burrows. The mice were troubled by the stealthy and elusive cat that prowled in the shadows, posing a constant threat to their safety. 
  After a heated discussion during a community gathering, the mice realized they needed a way to be warned of the cat's approach. In their quest for a solution, a wise old mouse named Simon proposed an idea that garnered much attention—a bell should be placed around the cat's neck. This way, the tinkling sound would serve as an early warning, giving the mice ample time to scamper to safety. 
  Excitement filled the air as the mice embraced Simon's suggestion. However, as the discussion progressed, a practical concern arose. Who would bell the cat? The thought of approaching the stealthy feline to attach a bell seemed daunting and perilous. 
  The bravest and most agile mouse in the community, a young and spirited rodent named Oliver, volunteered for the daunting task. The other mice, relieved to have a courageous soul among them, applauded Oliver's bravery.

The Wolf’s Curse will engross readers of The Girl Who Drank the Moon and A Wish in the Dark.  
  Gauge’s life has been cursed since the day he cried Wolf and was accused of witchcraft. The Great White Wolf brings only death, Gauge’s superstitious village believes. If Gauge can see the Wolf, then he must be in league with it. 
  So instead of playing with friends in the streets or becoming his grandpapa’s partner in the carpentry shop, Gauge must hide and pretend he doesn’t exist. But then the Wolf comes for his grandpapa. And for the first time, Gauge is left all alone, with a bounty on his head and the Wolf at his heels. 
  A young feather collector named Roux offers Gauge assistance, and he is eager for the help. But soon the two—both recently orphaned—are questioning everything they have ever believed about their village, about the Wolf, and about death itself.  
  Narrated by the sly, crafty Wolf, Jessica Vitalis’s debut novel is a vivid and literary tale about family, friendship, belonging, and grief. The Wolf’s Curse will captivate readers of Laurel Snyder’s Orphan Island and Molly Knox Ostertag’s The Witch Boy.
