Overview
Set sail for silly, high-seas (and high-cheese) adventures with this four-book Adventuremice collection from the award-winning duo Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. Join Pedro and his fearless crew of seafaring mice as they chase mummies, movie stardom, ghost ships, and underground dinosaurs across four laugh-out-loud illustrated stories. Packed with McIntyre's lively black-and-white artwork and Reeve's quick-witted storytelling, this collection is built for kids who want big adventure in bite-sized, highly illustrated chapters. A brand new paperback set perfect for bedtime reading, car rides, or building a young reader's very own mouse-sized library.
About the Books
The Adventuremice series follows Pedro and his tiny crew of brave, bumbling mice as they sail the seas, solve mysteries, and stumble into one outlandish escapade after another. In Of Mice and Mummies, the crew uncovers a clue that sends them racing to a secret island dotted with mouse-sized sphinxes, pyramids, and the hidden tomb of Queen Neferteacake. Mice Camera Action! turns the spotlight on Pedro and friends as they head to the town of Hollybush to star in their very own movie, dodging an out-of-control otter along the way. The Ghostly Galleon arrives just in time for the spookiest season, sending the crew after rumors of a haunted ship and the long-lost treasure of Captain Cheesebeard. Finally, Mousehole to the Centre of the Earth sees Uncle Bernie's incredible Mechanical Mole machine carry the crew deep underground, where they discover a hidden cave world of twisty trees, tiny pterodactyls, and a loose Hamstersaurus Rex. Each story stands on its own, so young readers can jump in anywhere and still follow the fun. Told with short chapters, big personality, and McIntyre's expressive illustrations on nearly every page, these books are designed to pull reluctant and confident readers alike into the story. The humor is gentle and silly rather than scary, making the series a comfortable fit for the younger end of middle-grade readers who have outgrown picture books but aren't quite ready for longer novels. Together, the four titles make a wonderful introduction to Reeve and McIntyre's wider body of illustrated adventure fiction for children.
