GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 25, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Even though none of them have been to the outside world for some time, the rodents are again tied to their eventful life as they embark on more than a hundred new escapades in More Adventures from Mousetown II. In this second installment of the exhilarating The Mouse Trilogy, author Daniel S. Knowles has added more exciting mice's exploits to give readers an awesome reading experience.

From running into the pirates on the high seas, dealing with the one-hundred-fifty-foot-long snake in Mousetown Harbor, colliding into a legion of army ants, to saving a camel from the Billy Goat Falls, the mice would make readers more excited as they get on their more rousing adventures. Follow the mice through these adventures and nearly a hundred more in this book, both in their inner world and ending up in the outer world on the earth's surface. The dramatic conclusion leads to San Francisco on a craggy overlook by the Pacific Ocean, on a bright sunny afternoon filled with seagulls and a coast filled with sea lions. They will run into troubles, save lives, face harms, encounter fights, survive some obstacles, fulfill responsibilities, engage into fun activities and cheerful celebrations, accept death of a comrade, and so much more.

Readers will be blown by the thrill and excitement of every feat while learning lessons from the stories of the mice. To have more fun and thrilling adventures, get a copy of More Adventures from Mousetown II or for more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.

About the Author

Daniel S. Knowles started writing a story about a mouse named Peter Patridge in 1948, when he was only in fifth grade. By 1956, he had completed one version of the story, some five hundred pages long that included illustrations done in his youth. He added more illustrations in the early 1960s. Some thirty-six years later, after retiring from a career as a firefighter, he completed the tale with a more contemporary version, including basic geological and paleontological information. He has developed some of the characters further and added many hundreds of new ones. The work is directed towards readers ranging in age from five to one hundred.
