Scurry - by Mac Smith (Paperback)

About the Book

"A group of house mice struggle to survive a long and strange winter. The humans are gone, the sun is rarely seen, and a cold, dark rain befouls everything it touches. The mice, long dependent on humans for food, stubbornly cling to their old ways, looting the nearby abandoned houses for any scraps they can find. Once, there was plenty to eat, but now the scavengers return empty-handed, or not at all. Food is scarce, but danger is everywhere. Poison and traps wait for the unwary in dark cupboards, and a gang of feral cats relentlessly chase the mice whenever the rodents leave the safety of their nest. Now there are even rumors a hawk has come to join the hunt. As supplies run low and many mice fall ill, desperation creeps in. With the colony at a breaking point, rumors of a wrecked truck filled with food give them hope, but it lies far beyond the forest, where even the cats won't go." --

Book Synopsis

A group of house mice struggle to survive a long and strange winter. The humans are gone, the sun is rarely seen, and a cold, dark rain befouls everything it touches.

The mice, long dependent on humans for food, stubbornly cling to their old ways, looting the nearby abandoned houses for any scraps they can find. Once, there was plenty to eat, but now the scavengers return empty-handed, or not at all.

Food is scarce, but danger is everywhere. Poison and traps wait for the unwary in dark cupboards, and a gang of feral cats relentlessly chase the mice whenever the rodents leave the safety of their nest. Now there are even rumors a hawk has come to join the hunt.

As supplies run low and many mice fall ill, desperation creeps in. With the colony at a breaking point, rumors of a wrecked truck filled with food give them hope, but it lies far beyond the forest, where even the cats won't go.

Included in Scurry, is a two-page READER'S GUIDE. The full TEACHER'S GUIDE can be found on SkyboundComet.com.

Review Quotes

"An incredibly beautiful book!" - JAMES TYNION IV (Something is Killing the Children, Batman, Wynd)

I've had the pleasure of watching Scurry grow from its humble beginnings to the incredible saga it is today. It is hands-down panel for panel one of the most beautiful books you will ever experience. It's hard to separate the book from the creator, Mac Smith who is the creative tour de force who single handedly brought this world to life. When you discover a series of books like Scurry it's kind of magical...savor this book, it is a rare and wonderful creation from the heart of a very unique creative voice! - JOHN MUELLER (Art Director, Blizzard Entertainment, Diablo III, IV)

Thrilling and heartwarming. Bold storytelling with rich, emotive artwork that'll take you back to your favorite VHS clamshell. The Secret of Nimh meets The Road. Highly recommended! Scurry out and find yourself a copy! - TONY FLEECS (Writer/Co-Creator of Stray Dogs)
