That's because this juvenile fiction book is populated by mice, rats, moles, squirrels, minks, and other assorted furry creatures. The first in a series, I hope to convince the kiddos to read it while I move along to the second. in Michael Hoeye's Time Stops for No Mouse, on some level, there's a bit of truth to it. It reminded me of nothing so much as the wonderful, from-my-childhood movie The Rescuers in tone and flavor. But even though I didn't figure out the entirety of the whodunit, I thoroughly enjoyed this adventurous and delightful novel. Hoeye leaves a trail of clues for an astute reader to solve the mystery but I must admit I'm not that reader, even when the book is written for children less than half my age. The plot zips along at a good clip with revelations, both expected and unexpected, coming fast and furious. The evil villains are ruthless and sneaky. The characters surrounding Hermux are eccentric and fun. This plunges him into a kidnapping mystery with a biological bent. He knows something is wrong when a less than savory rat asks for Linka's watch and so this mild-mannered mouse decides to follow the rat and see where he goes. ![]() He takes great pride in his work and so is a little put off when daredevil aviatrix Linka Perflinger leaves her watch to be repaired, admonishing Hermux that it must keep perfect time, and them fails to return to pick it up.
