Review
'Jarvis is a great writer, in command of his intricate plotting.'
(Scottish Sunday Herald )'Jarvis is a real story teller ...'
(Carousel )PRAISE FOR FLEABEE'S FORTUNE: 'This books begins a new Deptford series for younger children featuring the same brilliantly imagined and realised subterranean world. Scray and exciting, this book will grip readers from the very first page.' (Teaching and Learning )
'Bursting with action, danger, gruesome detail and some very narrow escapes these are real mouse eye views of our world from a prolific storyteller who excels at anthropomorphic tales such as this one.'
(Riveting Reads: Boys into Books 11-14, Department of Education and Skills )
'This wonderful trilogy set in London is breathtaking, original and action-packed.'
(South West Mag ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I think it was a very good book, in general. Up until the middle of the book, I was pleased with the plot, scene, etc. After that, although the book was 'hard to put down', the plot took a nasty twist, and when I finished the book, I ended up teary eyed, with anger at the characters and the author for such an ending. I'm not going to write what the book is about, because I wouldn't want to ruin it for potential readers. I myself have a twin sister who finds out the plots of her books by reading the reviews. So, remember-good book, but these aren't real people to mourn!!

I'd had this book for about two years and then one time i was really bored and just decided to start reading it. I spent the rest of the day being sucked in to a world of evil, terror and hatred. I'd tried to read the Deptford Mice trilogy without much success, i've also read the Whitby trilogy and i found it difficult to read but after reading this i'm willing to give Robin Jarvis another chance. This isn't a book where you can get too attached to the characters because you know that somewhere along the line they're going to either a) die, b) betray another character or c) do something that totally changes your opinion about them

I was 14 when I read this book, and, like most of Robin Jarvis' work, it was excellent! I'm an avid reader and will happily read a Robin Jarvis or Philip Pullman book followed by a Jane Austen- I don't see why fantasy books should always be classed as kids books! It takes you into its own world, with heartache and happiness as you follow its story. Once started you simply can't put it down! I'd reccomend it for anyone, 8-80!

Disturbing and surprisingly thought provoking
This is the second book in The Deptford Histories series - a series of prequels to The Deptford Mice books, intending to explain some of the things hinted at in those books. Read more

Great book, but as for the ending....
This book is excellent when compared to books by other authors, but for a Robin Jarvis I thought it wasn't quite as good as it could have been. Read more

After reading a book like this I don't understand why everyone seems to read Redwall, but no one has heard of Robin Jarvis's Deptford Mice/Histories series. Read more
