"This is the story of a young mouse named Errol who takes a ride on a ferry and visits the mines of Bell Island. Errol's best friend Old Rat, has told him wonderful stories, about how the mice and rats first came to Newfoundland as stowaways on the big sailing ships. Errol longs to have his own adventure but his parents are unhappy when he strays too far from their garbage box home. Errol, however, is a mouse on a mission and early one summer morning, he decides to follow his dream. A tale of narrow escapes and dogged determination, it's Full Speed Ahead for our intrepid rodent."--From publisher.
