A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Alistair, Alex, and Alice have always been an inseparable (though not necessarily harmonious) triplet of mice...that is until Alistair is kidnapped one summer’s night. While Alistair tries to make heads or tails of falling from the sky onto another young ginger-colored mouse named Tibby Rose (a most unusual incident on all accounts), Alex and Alice set off to find their missing brother. But in a world where spies abound and an elusive underground organization called FIG is only heard about in shushed bits and pieces, figuring out whom to trust is no small task for this intrepid trio. The key to the mystery seems to be within their grasp, but it only hints at another hair-raising adventure and creates more questions that seemed destined to remain unanswered. Full of warm, clean humor and whippet-quick wit, Frances Watts’ new trilogy will effortlessly charm readers and adventurers alike.

Chosen as a Children’s Book Council of Australia Notable Book 2011

Revue de presse :

Australian Bookseller & Publisher, 5 stars
"...a real treat ... laced with plenty of adventure, wisdom and humour...This is a terrific read"

Kirkus Reviews
“These latest mouse heroes promise more ripping, gripping mystery and adventure.”

Publishers Weekly
"...a winning adventure..."

School Library Journal“Narrow escapes and plot twists abound, with almost every chapter ending in a nail-biting cliff-hanger. The suspenseful tone and accessible, polished writing will doubtless keep readers turning the pages. The conclusion is thoroughly satisfying, yet it is clear that many more obstacles face these mice before their story truly comes to an end. Fans of Brian Jacques's "Redwall" series (Philomel) as well as action and adventure aficionados will devour this book and eagerly await the next installment in the series.”
