Sam and Julia live in The Mouse Mansion, a world of its own. Julia lives on the sixth floor, center back. She lives there with her mother in a very small room. She has no father, brothers, or sisters; and no grandpa and grandma. Juilia is SUPER curious and VERY stubborn. She doesn't like to be bored! As soon as she gets bored she goes outside, on an adventure, with her friend Sam.

Sam lives in the front and center of The Mouse Mansion. He lives there with his father, mother, brothers and sisters. He has two grandfathers and two grandmothers, a few aunts and an uncle. Sam is VERY shy and REALLY kind. When he's with Julia, he does things he wouldn't otherwise dare to do! Where Sam has too much, Julia has too little and vice versa. They are the best of friends and share everything together.
