“Daly sensitively explores war, patriotism, and ambition in this well-researched tale.”— Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Alice Network

Join us for a special storytime Friday, August 21 at 11 a.m. at the library, featuring the recently released title <a href="https://library.clamsnet.org/Record/632101?searchId=38337185&amp;recordIndex=7&amp;page=1&amp;referred=resultIndex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Outermost Mouse </a>by Cape author <a href="https://laurenwolk.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lauren Wolk</a> (illustrated by Kristen Adam), followed by a book signing and sale in partnership with <a href="https://www.eightcousins.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eight Cousins Bookstore</a>.&nbsp;This event was rescheduled from June 19.
The Outermost Mouse loves her life at the tip of the beach. She has blue sky above and sand as warm and soft as her mother below. Best of all is the house, a huge nest she has made her own. There are jam-jar posies, lanterns full of gold, and a clock that tick-tocks her to sleep at night. But a storm is coming. When the sky goes dark and a cold wind rises, the little mouse must do everything she can to protect her home. Even though she’s small enough to fit into a teacup, the Outermost Mouse is smart, strong, and brave—and ready to face the wild waves.
“A triumphant tale of defending what you love.″ —Kirkus, starred review
