Secrets at Sea by Richard Peck

This is a young adult fantasy book. Three sister mice and one brother mouse have to take a boat trip when their people travel to England. During that trip, destinies are formed and futures are firmed up. The mice try to lend a helping paw to the marriage hunt of the Cranston sisters, with varying levels of success. 

This was a cute read. The mice characters were cute. There was action, love and humor in this book. I think this book would appeal to both boy and girl readers, from elementary to middle school range.
