Hello Mouse Friends,

Holey cheese, I can hardly believe it! What you are reading right now is the FOURTH issue of The Rodent's Gazette Online. What started as a teeny tiny idea is now a full-blown website.

I am not sure if you are aware or not, but we have an excellent archive of old articles, games and puzzles. This way if you miss an issue, you can find it easily under the archives tab - right over there…eek, to be accurate I guess I should say "left" over there!

Anyway, we have all been very busy lately. I recently put the finishing touches on my latest adventure. Would you like to hear more about it? It is truly one of the more exciting adventures I have been on lately…especially since it has me, Trap, Thea and Benjamin traveling to Transratania!

It all started one night with a phone call from Trap. The troublemaker was trapped in a castle in Transratania! And before I could even squeak, my sister, Thea dragged me along on a rescue mission. What I didn't know then that I do now is that Transratania is the land of vampire bats. Talk about getting a case of the mouse bumps!

You may wonder why I was so afraid. Well, there's nothing a bat likes more than sinking its teeth into a nice, juicy mouse…or so I thought! I learned a lot about bats during my visit. You can too in Red Pizzas for a Blue Count!
Squeak to you soon,
