Alice has had a tough time since her parents split up. They’re both so busy, they hardly notice Alice at all. What she needs is a friend. But when Mum takes her to the pet shop to buy a hamster, she spies a tiny brown mouse hiding at the back of the cage. Alice names him Truffle – and just like chocolate, he somehow makes everything sweeter…
