of novels by Robin Jarvis
. They follow the story of a group of mice living in Deptford

as they fight an evil cat god named Jupiter.
Into this twilight realm wanders a small and frightened mouse. Far from family and friends he perishes, and in doing so is the unwitting trigger of a chain of events that hurls the Deptford Mice into a doom-laden world of terror and sorcery.
Can the mice survive against such evil? Or have they lost the comfortable world they once knew forever?
