No one ever said life was easy. Tone Provolone and Cheddar Chessman can attest to that. Their struggling shop - the Cheese-Ah-Breeze - is starved for customers and tormented by the stinking-rich Limburger, the big cheese of the town and their biggest rival. They seem destined for failure, until they encounter Vinnie Gouda, a young mouse looking to belong; Mrs. Asiago, a shabby old mouse with a heart of gold; Swiss Never Miss, a teen mouse with the perfect aim; and Fontina Dante, who's in search of leisurely travel, but finds a hunk - and it's not cheese - that melts her heart.
This new motley crew of characters slowly turns their lives around for the better. But they shouldn't celebrate just yet, because something is rotten just outside their town of Cheeseton, Wisconsin. It lurks in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
From the storyteller who brought us The Birth of Agent Big Butt: Butt of Steel, Heart of Gold comes another heart-warming classic, a delectable, cheese-filled tale ripe with adventure, mystery, and lessons on the power of friendship.
