 >From Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell comes a cozy\, magical nighttime 
 adventure\, in which a child discovers the mysterious\, miniature world be
 yond his bedroom walls.</p>\n<p>Sent home from school earlier in the day w
 ith a fever\, George awakens in the middle of the night to discover a cric
 ket beckoning him on an adventure and soon finds himself shrunken down in 
 size. He follows the insect guide through a crack in his bedroom wall\, th
 rough the moonlit yard\, and into the home of a family of mice at the base
  of an oak tree. There\, in a tiny\, cozy kitchen\, George discovers the m
 eaning of his quest: he must help the Mama mouse complete her special 102-
 bean soup for her sick young son.</p>\n<p>Delightfully sweet as it is fant
 astic\, 102 seamlessly explores the values of curiosity\, kindness\, and g
 enerosity. The simple yet profound conclusion shares a clever wink with re
 aders\, encouraging them to believe the unbelievable.</p>\n<p><strong>Abou
