Book Description
A high adventure of sea battles, exotic islands, dirty intrigue and fantastical mice.
Product Description
Strange things are afoot in the mousehunting port of Old Town . . . One dark night, a pirate is washed ashore with a box tied around his lifeless neck. It bears a warning to Isiah Lovelock, the town's most prominent mouse collector, from Mousebeard, the most feared pirate on the Seventeen Seas. Soon Emiline, mousekeeper to Lovelock's prized collection is pitched aboard Captain Drewshank's ship to hunt Mousebeard. But who is Mousebeard really? And what hidden motives drive Lovelock's fury? Emiline must find answers in a world of spies, ship battles and sea monsters; a world where the Nosferatu Mouse flits at night, the Howling Moon Mouse haunts exotic islands and the Cadaver Mouse sniffs out dying sailors . . .

Was told about this book by a friend, and I have to say it's just fantastic. It's a pirate adventure story, but with a difference. It is set in a fictional world where mice have evolved to fill every habitat and ecosystem imaginable, and therefore are prized possessions. Follow the adventures of a young mousekeeper as she joins the quest to capture the dreaded pirate Mousebeard.
I can't wait for the sequel- due to be published in July 2008.

I loved this book! I read most of it while I was stuck on a train for four hours and it made my horrid journey actually quite enjoyable!
The book is actually aimed at children, or young adults, but I really think it could be enjoyed by anyone. I loved following Emiline on her adventure and my favourite mouse, Portly, was lots of fun to read!
It's without a doubt one of the most gripping books I've ever read. It's set in a fantasy world, but not for a second do you think it's far fetched. I kinda wish Elephant mice did exist. It's funny too, and you get strange looks from people on the train when you laugh out loud. I don't care. It's brilliant.
I've already moved onto the second book in the series, The Curse Of Mousebeard, and I'm enjoying that one even more. It's a great series, with great illustrations. Five stars and two mousey thumbs up!

I really loved this book. I suspect I'm older than the target market by at least 15 years, but I ignored all the strange looks on public transport because I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.
