“A graphic novel about anthropomorphic mice?” you ask skeptically. My answer: "Absolutely." Mouse Guard is reminiscent of Brian Jacques’ beloved Redwall series, sans Abbey. The art is beautiful and full of detail, truly making Mouse Guard a graphic novel instead of a comic book. Three of the Guard's finest mice are sent to find a missing mouse, a merchant who never reached his destination. But the missing mouse was more than he appeared, and the trio discovers that there is a traitor in the ranks of the Guard. You'll soon find yourself hooked by the story and have a favorite mouse (mine is Lieam). Petersen uses both art and words to their greatest effect, and the results are sure to engage readers of any age.
