The setting is lunchtime at City High School but it can by Any Place, Anytime,
USA. The characters are two mice named Sniff and Scurry and two “Littlepeople”
named Hem and Haw. The four characters run through a maze looking
for Cheese. “The Cheese stands for whatever’s important to you—like
getting on a team, having a boyfriend or girlfriend, getting into college
or just getting out of school and finding a job so you can be free and
independent—whatever.” And the maze is “where you look for what you want--school,
where you work and play, or the family or community you live in.”
It is a story about change and growth both of which can be stifled if you
get stuck in the past and refuse to plan for the future. Sometimes the
“Handwriting is on the Wall” but “The more important your Cheese is to
you the more you want to hold on to it.” (Brenda Boyd, boyd420@msn.com,
