Hermux gets to be a hero once again in the thrilling & exicting follow up to Time Stops For No Mouse.After a meeting with a mysterious chipmunk and the unveilling of a scandelous new art exhabition on Cats,Hermux's life is thrown into chaos.His eyes are opened to the possible Lost Kingdom of Cats.As in all good adventure stories there are forces against Hermux.With the help of his true love Linka Perflinger Hermux and his friends must find the lost kingdom before anyone else.
This book is a must for 8-12 year olds(and some adults) who enjoy a good a mixture of adventure and humour with a dash of danger.As a bookseller my mission this year is to convince people of the greatness of Hermux Tantamoq.I hope Michael Hoeye writes more books in this series because i'm totally hooked.
Please read this book you won't be disapointed.

Format:Paperback
This little book continues the captivating adventures of Hermux Tantamoq. If you enjoyed ‘Time Waits for No Mouse,’ then you’ll love this too – and even if you haven’t read about Hermux before, this is the kind of sequel that doesn’t require an in-depth knowledge of the first book.
Talking mice aren’t to everyone’s taste. In recent years, anthropomorphised creatures have become much less fashionable – but this book may change your mind. However, I think the cover-art on both books has let the author down, as the modern, stylised, garish pictures give no hint of the charm and whimsy within.
The book is divided into many small chapters of 1 – 3 pages, which makes it the ideal bedtime story book. To ensure pleasant dreams, I prescribe one chapter before bedtime, to be taken every night until completed.
May your tail grow long - and all your squeaks be little ones!

Brousing in a children's bookshop I was initially unsure of 'time stops for no mouse' based on its cover...thus proving a very old adage true. When I came to read it what I discovered was a delightful adventure with none of the expected twee-ness or boring parts. The long awaited sequel, 'the sands of time', is equally good. Hermux is working in his shop when a series of events occur which cause him to doubt accepted historical theory involving C-A-T-S. His discovery of a map written in a foreign language leads him into the desert to discover the 'sands of time' in what turns out to be a near-death, cliffhanging adventure involving theft, attempted murder and tretchery. It is a well written, original and exciting story which will be loved by all who read it, adults and children alike.
