The Metro Mice
Andy Stuart (author)
Price range: £3.99 through £9.99
The Metro Mice tells the story of Renoir, a small mouse with a big problem.
The crime of the century just happened and everyone in the Mousehole, located beneath Notre Dame Cathedral, thinks he did it!
After a daring escape, Renoir, his Grandfather Monet and best friend, Beth, go on a quest across Paris to prove his innocence. Their adventures take them through a hidden world that Big People have never seen. A world filled with sinister rats and criminal cats, pampered poodles, ironic iguanas and an incredibly mischievous monkey. They even fly on the back of a pigeon!
But to solve the mystery and clear his name, Renoir will also have to learn something else: that the most important truth of all is the one we discover about ourselves.

What a grand adventure! Andy Stuart’s The Metro Mice is imaginative and well-written. It may be a “children’s book,” but any kid-at-heart will certainly enjoy it. Under the Saint Michel Metro station in Paris lives a family of mice, including the adventurous and slightly mischievous Renoir. Through a series of events, Renoir finds himself in the middle of a major crime that has the city of Paris roiling. It is on Renoir to uncover the mystery along with his friend, Beth, and Grandfather, Monet. The story takes them through iconic neighborhoods of Paris meeting an eclectic cast of characters who help (and hinder) them along the way. Stuart’s descriptions of Paris are vivid and imaginative, helping to put the reader right at the center of the action. Compelling storytelling with exciting twists and turns make this a page-turner that keeps the reader enthralled right up to the very satisfying conclusion.

I bought the The Metro Mice by Andy Stuart as a present for my grandchildren.
Little did I know how captivating the story would be! Traveling by Tube will never be the same knowing there is a whole mice universe underneath it.
I loved their ‘them’ and ‘us’ world and I adored their Impressionist names and the narrator´s interventions.
It is a properly constituted society with good mice and bad ones. They have their own rules, values and a strong sense of community. It is educational as it brings Galileo, the Foucault´s Pendulum, Newton, Robespierre, physics and history in one go.
The War of the Rodents, The Council of the Long Tails, and the Desperodents are very evocative names which are bound to excite children´s curiosity.
My own grandchildren could not wait for the next chapter and I can imagine many 8+ years old looking forward to read about the adventures of the secret lives of these adorable mice!
