TM3 has a mission, perhaps the most important mission in the history of the world..."The subject is female about 2/3 size, red hair in ropes at back, crested in front... She is the best thing since sliced cheese." Megan's Uncle Fred is an inventor. His latest invention in a tiny, mousesize computer. He gives it to Megan when she must move from Cleveland to Oregon to stay with her Dad while her Mom goes to Australia to do research on wombats. Megan is approached by representatives of the Mouse Nation who want Uncle Fred to make millions of the computers for mice. Megan insists that the mice help ameliorate global climate change in exchange for the computers. This is a cute story about friendship, commitment to ideals, and family. Perhaps, however, it is a bit long for its intended audience. The illustrations are a definite asset.
