Robin Jarvis

Timely reissue of the classic fantasy trilogy by Robin Jarvis, following on from the landmark publication of DANCING JAX, his first novel in a decade. Dare to enter the Wyrd Museum, where fantasy meets the seriously sinister… In a grimy alley in the East End of London stands the Wyrd Museum, cared for by the strange Webster sisters – and scene of even stranger events… Wandering through the museum, Neil Chapman, son of the new caretaker, discovers it is a sinister place crammed with secrets both dark and deadly. Forced to journey back to the past, he finds himself pitted against an ancient and terrifying evil, something which is growing stronger as it feeds on the destruction around it.

As London shivers in the grip of an icy blizzard, the Deptford Mice huddle indoors, telling ghost stories to keep the bitter cold at bay. Little do they know that this is no ordinary winter. Their most fearsome enemy has returned from beyond the grave. He plans to use his evil sorcery to plunge the world into an eternal, freezing night, and at his command the bloodthirsty rats of the sewers are stirring once moreAlone and seemingly powerless in the face of this most terrible of foes, the mice are close to giving up hope. Can they draw on their last reserves of strength to defeat Jupiter one final time, or is it already too late?

After vanquishing the monstrous cat Jupiter, the Deptford Mice flee their city home along with the mysterious ratwitch, Madame Akkikuyu. Together they seek refuge in the countryside with a colony of fieldmice. But as their hosts busily prepare for the great midsummer festival, something evil is stalking the cornfield in the dead of night, and soon an innocent young mouse lies murdered in the moonlight...As the once-peaceful community is thrown into turmoil, the mice discover a terrifying enemy in their very midst, and must once again do battle with a formidable dark magic - one so powerful that even the protection of the Green Mouse might not be enough to save them.

Bravo to Pushkin Children’s Books for reissuing Robin Jarvis’s thrilling Deptford Mice series. Though first published some years ago, there’s still little to challenge these books for action, adventure, characters to love or sheer excitement.The Deptford Mice – young Arthur and Audrey, Oswald and their other friends – live happily and peacefully in the skirting boards of an abandoned old house in south London, careful to avoid the Grille that leads into the sewers. The sewers are home to the rats – always hungry for a tender mouse – and it’s rumoured, something even more terrifying. But the young mice are inexorably drawn into the sewers and there they discover a terrible evil that threatens every one of them. The young mice display extraordinary amounts of courage in scenes that will keep readers on tenterhooks. These heroic mice feel as real as any human character and are just as inspiring. These epic animal fantasy adventures are in a class of their own.
