The Adventures of Spencer the Church Mouse

Spencer is a gentle church mouse who is used to a quiet life in the country. No one had been in the church for a long time and Spencer was content.

But suddenly a loud thud broke the silence and the building lurched from under him. A big machine was lifting his church house up, up, up, and away. Spencer had seconds to decide whether to stay safely behind or embrace the adventure of a lifetime. He hoped for the best as he leapt into the air and scrambled back into the only home he has ever known. What adventures await him? How will this well-mannered country mouse fare when he meets his field mouse cousins?

Tracy Barron moved the former Rawdon Gold Mines Union Church in Hants County, Nova Scotia, to a new location and repurposed it into her home. It sits on the site where her great-great grandparents' farmhouse once stood and where four generations of her family were raised. It wasn't long after the church building arrived at its new home that a family of mice came along to live within the walls. This is the story of one of these mice.
