The Dentist's Promise
Wendy Smith
As a child Renata promised her aunt she'd always be true to the Oldmouse family name, no matter what she became. Because of her fondness for smiles and because she liked to see them well looked after, she decided to be a dentist and dedicate herself to providing an entertaining and specialised smile-maintenance service in an environment dazzling with flamboyance. Remembering the promise to her aunt, she turns down many proposals, but one day a good-looking acrobat with wonderful teeth trapezes in for emergency treatment and immediately declares his love which is, with Oldmouse honesty and drama, reciprocated, renounced and then... A fun book due to the exaggerated storyline and characters, which are almost caricatures.
