March 2024 Book of the Month

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.
