Book Review by Noah Lee: Ralph S. Mouse
This book is the third book in the series. Due to the cold winters, Ralph’s outdoor cousins have moved into the Mountain View Inn, and there are more family problems than ever before! The cousins are much more demanding, wanting to ride by themselves instead of Ralph pushing them up and down the halls, and Ralph’s siblings have joined them. Ralph, tired and ashamed of bowing steam on his cousins and siblings decides to go to school with his new friend, Ryan, whose mom works at the hotel. The students were very enthusiastic when they met Ralph, but the school bully, Brad, is creating issues. After breaking Ralph’s motorcycle, Ralph gives him a piece of his mind and Brad and Ryan take them to the Inn and give him a sports car. Then, Ralph decides to stay at the Inn, while the bully and his friend mom and dad marry, and they move to a home.
The genre is action and adventure, as well as fiction, with many exciting moments in the book. My recommended age for people to read this book is 5 to 13, although anyone can read it! I especially recommend this book to people who like adventure, mice, and of course, speed and fast vehicles.
My favorite part of the story is when Ralph must run a maze that Ryan made for him, in which he cleverly makes a new way to run it, going on top of the walls to the end. I’d rate this book as 5 out of 5 stars, since it is thrilling and makes the importance of creativity clear and enjoyable to learn, and is written for even the earliest readers.
