About this ebook
Sammy Shine’s life as Hank’s pet mouse was simple and quiet—until Hank’s brother sends Sammy up in a remote controlled airplane and loses control.
When Sammy Shine’s plane takes off unexpectedly, he ends up in a whole new world; no longer does he live in comfort in his shoe box in Hank’s room. Now he’s lost in the woods, with no way to get home, and a dangerous enemy. Fortunately, a group of new friends, including a mouse, an injured crow, a newt, and a shrew, will help him find and repair his plane so he can try to get back home.
Inspired by a childhood experience, New York Times-bestselling author Henry Cole offers this charming illustrated novel featuring adorable animal characters, an exciting adventure, and an action-packed plot.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had a really fun time reading Cinnamon Girl. I find Alba a very appealing character - what's not to like about a retro-loving, comic-drawing girl who lives in a bakery!? What I love the most is the smart and hilarious banter between Alba and her friends. They are nerdy and proud of it; I think I feel slightly jealous about them having found such a great group of friends. I also love the book cover, it complements the retro/technicolour style of Alba perfectly.
On the minus side, I think the plot could have resolved faster - the mid section seemed to drag on. Also references to Alba's physical size seem slightly gratuitous, even politically-correct -I guess the mentions are there to highlight Alba's self-confidence, or unconventional attitudes, but otherwise this detail does not seem relevant to the rest of the story.
