The Dark Portal audiobook

"Book one of the Deptford Mice Trilogy is a spooky and enthralling animal fantasy. Jarvis

provides counterpoint to the heart-racing adventure with scenes of haunting beauty.The author conveys

a sense of place powerful enough to elevate the South London boroughs of Greenwich and Blackheath to

requisite stops on any bookish child's literary tour of the British capital."Publishers Weekly


"Full of adventure, this shadowy tale will both intrigue and surprise anyone bold enough to enter the Dark Portal."

T. A. Baron, author of The Lost Years of Merlin


Every mouse knows: BEWARE THE GRILL.


On the other side of the Grill lie the sewers, where bloodthirsty gangs of rats roam the tunnels.

It is in the depths of this blackness that the mysterious god Jupiter has his lair.

But one curious mouse can't resist the perilous world beyond the Grill, and soon no mouse can

ignore its dangers any longer. Before the altar of Jupiter himself, a small band of mice must face

evil at its strongest or the entire city of London could be destroyed.

The Crystal Prison audiobook

"The final chapters are breathtakingly thrilling." School Library Journal

In this sequel to The Dark Portal, the evil rat Jupiter has been defeated, and the young Deptford

mice emerge from the sewers to start a new life in the country. But the albino mouse Oswald is seized

by an illness and lies near death. His friend Audrey enlists the help of the ancient squirrel mystic Starwife,

who agrees to heal him on one condition. She reintroduces Audrey to the once villainous rat Madam

Akkikuyu, whose mind is now broken, and decrees that Madam Akkikuyu must stay with Audrey until

she dies.

In the country, the mice find a bucolic existence, until they find themselves embroiled in a series of murders.

The country mice suspect that headstrong city mouse, Audrey, is the culprit. But the truth is far more sinister,

as Audrey witnesses the return of the supernatural evil she thought had been destroyed.
