Publisher's Note
From the creator of "The Rainbow Fish" comes a thought-provoking story that, together with the book's unique format, actively involves children in the decision-making process, showing them the effect today's environmental choices can have on the future of the Earth. Will the glowing stone which Milo finds bring disaster or delight? The reader must decide. Full color with holographic foil stamping.

On a small island in the middle of the sea, a mouse named Milo makes an extraordinary discovery--a magic, glowing stone hidden in a deep crevice. How will this discovery change the lives of Milo and the other mice? Will it bring delight or disaster? The reader must decide. Halfway through the story, the book splits into two sections, each offering a different ending.

Industry Reviews
Pfister (The Rainbow Fish) continues to appeal to the magpie instincts of the very young with his signature glittering foil overlays. In this tall-format book, about a mouse who finds a glowing stone that helps ward off the cold, dark days of winter, he adds an additional visual twist. At a pivotal point the remaining pages literally split in two horizontally, offering readers a choice between a "happy" and a "sad" ending. The high road finds Milo and his fellow mice heeding a wise elder's advice ("If you take something from the island, you must give something in return") and acting in a responsible, environmentally thoughtful manner. The low road leads to greed, squabbling and destruction. It's a clever little parable if a trifle predictable told in restrained, fluid prose. Pfister's characteristic soft-focus watercolors, rendered in quiet hues of grays, blues and greens, provide an effective counterpoint to the bright gold of the shiny stones. Pfister fans will definitely want to add this one to their collections. Ages 5-8. (Sept.)
Lopate

K-Gr 2 Milo, a mouse who lives on a small mountain island, finds a glowing rock that provides both light and warmth on a cold winter night. Partway through the story, after a warning from wise Balthazar that if the mice take something from the island, they must return something, the book's pages are cut in half giving the story two different endings, one happy and one sad. These pages actually turn independently. While the two tales are well told, the first showing unselfish, caring mice, and the second the unfortunate consequences of greed, the contrivance makes the presentation heavy-handed, resulting in an offering that's more useful than entertaining. The watercolor illustrations are thoroughly engaging, and the golden rocks actually sparkle on the page. With his cocked ear and rotund figure, Milo is irresistible. It could well be that the lure of these island mice and the glamour of the golden rocks will be enough to entice readers over and over again.
