Synopsis

Miss Maggie is a mouse with attitude. And why not? She lives upstairs near the bedroom of former President James Madison and his charming wife, Dolley. She has a fabulous wardrobe patterned after Mrs. Madison's own lavish dresses. She can even read and write. Maggie has come a long way from the days when she lived in the dark, damp basement, and she keeps her distance from the lowly family members who still live there. But a famous French general is coming for a visit and her life is about to change. A cat, a macaw, and a new friend will bring lessons to teach Maggie what is truly important in life. Something more important than fancy dresses. What could it be? This book is based on the discovery of a real mouse's nest that was hidden in the Madisons' bedroom wall for over a hundred and eighty years. Read Maggie's diary and learn the secrets of history for yourself!
