Chapter 11 Summary

Isaiah discovers the source of the singing: a girl mouse with dark brown fur and long eyelashes. Hidden in the bushes, Isaiah admires her voice and beauty as she sings to herself and the bees. Though he knows his bright blue fur might shock her, Isaiah bows to her and introduces himself, assuring her he means no harm. She is surprised by Isaiah’s blue fur and finds it strange, unlike her brown fur. Isaiah explains that he considers his color “special” and mentions that some of his siblings have crimson and chartreuse fur, though he quickly realizes that regular mice like her are colorblind. The girl mouse becomes upset by Isaiah’s comments about Suburbia. Despite Isaiah’s attempts to compliment her, she tells him he wasn’t supposed to hear her singing and walks away.

Chapter 12 Summary

Isaiah follows the girl mouse after she walks away. He explains how he lost his entire family during their escape, and she softens. She introduces herself as Mikayla and mentions that her mischief, the name of a group of mice, lives nearby. She leads Isaiah to her home and notes that her human hosts, the Brophys, are messy eaters who provide plenty of scavenging opportunities.
