Overview

The terrible trins (like twins, but three) are a fearsome lot. These three mice are about to turn things upside down at Orchard Farm-and teach the farmer's cats who's really boss.

It'll take some fancy footwork-and the help of all four mouse clans-to make things safe at Orchard Farm once and for all.

Three mice brothers, ignoring the class system separating the four clans of rodents in their farmhouse, befriend a lower class mouse and form a team to fight cats.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
"At six o'clock on the morning of her birthday, Mrs. Gray's husband was killed and eaten." With his customary panache, King-Smith (Babe: The Gallant Pig; Harry's Mad) grabs the reader's attention from his opening sentence. And, sustaining his understated wit and rollicking pace throughout this breezy novel, the author never loosens his grip. Because this is the third husband she has lost ("I really know how to pick 'em"), Mrs. Gray-a mouse who, living in the attic, belongs to the highest of Orchard Farm's four social strata-vows she will never marry again. Instead, she pledges to devote her time to the education and upbringing of Thomas, Richard and Henry, her three "trins" (``another word for triplets''). Under her firm but loving tutelage, the gutsy brothers distinguish themselves among the house's mouse population and manage (in several funny scenes) to get rid of the farm's feline occupants. And when the trins inadvertently find their mother a new husband-a Cellarmouse who is worthy despite his lowly birth-the author subtly lets an vital message shine through the merriment. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 7-12. (Oct.)
School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Widowed for the third time, Mrs. Gray, an Attic mouse, devotes herself to training her ``trins'' (short for triplets), preparing them to banish the two cats from the old house at Orchard Farm. Her three sons become a remarkable fighting team known throughout the four mice communities (Attics, Ups, Downs, and Cellars). With the help of a Cellar, they banish the felines, but the foul-tempered Farmer Budge, who hates mice more than he does cats, proves harder to manage. In spite of kindly Mrs. Budge's attempts to protect them, the rodents face enormous dangers until they are able to bring about a truce. King-Smith excels in creating vivid characters and a fast-paced plot. The lively mice, though anthropomorphized, keep their rodent identities, which makes their courage and physical prowess all the more breathtaking. Farmer Budge (vaguely reminiscent of Roald Dahl's Twits [Knopf, 1981]) succeeds admirably as the nasty protagonist. All in all, a delightful romp, illustrated with humorous black-and-white drawings, that will appeal to readers who enjoy fantastic animal stories.- Maggie McEwen, Coffin Elementary School, Brunswick, ME
