TIME STOPS FOR NO MOUSE by Michael Hoeye - FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Michael Hoeye.If you and your child like mysteries, here's one that will take you
on a roller-coaster ride in a race against time to save a mad doctor
from wreaking havoc on his town, and perhaps the world. Did we mention
that the hero is a mouse, and the mad doctor is a rat?
Welcome to the tiny town of Pinchester, where mice, rats, moles, and
minks work hard during the day, go to the opera at night, and munch
donuts from Lanayda Prink's coffee shop in between. And Hermux
Tantamoq, a local watchmaker who enjoys speaking with his pet ladybug
and munching extra-stinky cheese, is much like any other mouse. Then
one day, beautiful aviatrix extraordinaire Linka Perflinger gives
Hermux her watch to repair -- and promptly disappears. Hermux, who has
developed a crush, suspects foul play and vows to find her. He stumbles
across the key to the mystery surrounding Linka's disappearance when he
intercepts the journal of an adventurous botanist wandering in the
mystical country of Teulabonari, home of the native chinchillas (yes,
chinchillas). Unfortunately, there are many who would stop at nothing
to get their hands on the journal and the priceless information it
holds, and Hermux is soon embroiled in a dangerous scheme involving a
greedy cosmetics tycoon, a sinister plastic surgeon, a pushy newspaper
reporter, a gang of ruthless lab rats, and a scheme that may destroy
his peaceful town.
Hoeye's gift for storytelling pulls even the most hesitant reader into
this little world, where mice are heroes, rats are murderers, and the
mythical Fountain of Youth is a reality. Younger readers may get
impatient with Hoeye's painstaking detail as he shows readers every
step Hermux makes, but they'll soon realize that even the most minor
scene plays a major part in this mystery. In addition, the short
chapters make the book perfect for bedtime reading, and readers will
have quite a time calling out the funny names of the characters.
