My
Cheese
has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is mainly for teens. The book tells us that when facing changes in our life, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Use this change to make a better life.
The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of
them are

unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The
four
are in a maze(
迷宫
) looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can't do this. They are afraid of changes so they find no cheese.
