But at heart Mouse is an adventurer: he wants to break out of his sordid life, achieve something, and make his fortune. And when an old man tells him there is a fortune to be made, not far away, Mouse runs away to become the Bottle Boy. Stephen Elboz's novel is full of drama, bizarre characters. action and humour.
