The Legend of Jet the Gerbil is the true story of an amazing pet gerbil and his human, a young boy named Michael. Michael and Jet are best friends and find lots of fun ways to play together. Jet is big, strong, fast, and brave. He can do remarkable things like run mazes, spin around in his wheel upside down, and chew through giant cardboard tubes in minutes. Jet even teaches Michael's cat a lesson or two. One day, when Michael and his dad are cleaning Jet's tank, something goes terribly wrong, setting Michael and his dad on a fast-paced adventure to find and rescue Jet. Michael knows Jet is strong and brave, but can he survive until rescued? The Legend of Jet the Gerbil showcases love, friendship, hope, resilience, and perseverance through beautiful watercolor illustrations and an engaging story. Jet's incredible survival could make this the greatest gerbil story ever told!
