About the Book

Bob and Jim are two friends. Jim is poorer than Bob, but he takes care of his friend after Bob is made to leave the house where he lived. Jim falls in love with a beautiful she-mouse. But his beloved beauty betrays him. Jim is hardly able to cope with this situation. Bob decides to take his friend for a trip to Brazil to scare his sorrow away. As guests of a hotel, they win a trip to Amazonia. They go by a ship from Manaus, but the ship gets damaged and sinks. Bob and Jim must fight with the strong stream of the river to save their lives. They manage to reach the bank, but other problems are awaiting them. It hardly helps them to find a diamond when they are totally lost in the virgin forest. Mosquitoes, snakes and hunger endanger them but finally Bob’s grandson Archie redeems them. He comes to Earth in his spaceship Mouselia 1 from the future. He takes Bob and Jim aboard. The two friends are facing new situations and new things they’ve never seen before. When they get home, Jim invites Archie to go to see his flat. Archie leaves his spaceship in the vicinity of Jim’s flat. Two little cats start to play with the spaceship. Archie is very upset about it. He, Jim and Bob cannot find the spaceship. But finally they manage to find it. They have to confuse the cats to get the spaceship back. Are they successful?
