Stuart Little / E. B. White / 131 pages / Dead Author Challenge

This classic by the author of Charlotte's Web is an awesome story about friendship, adventure, heroism, and indefatigable spirit and determination.  Stuart Little is indeed little - less than two inches tall, and a mouse...  He never allows his handicaps (size being one) to interfere with his spirit of adventure and his desire to do the right thing.  He risks his life to come to the aid of others and leaves his home with all its comforts and support to find and rescue his lost friend, Margalo.  Perhaps not quite as compelling as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little is an endearing story with an admirable role model.
