Of Mice and Mystery,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: No Time Like Show Time (Hardcover)
No Time Like Show Time by Michael Hoeye is set in a city populated by mice, rats, otters, flying squirrels, and other small mammals. The main character, Hermux Tantamoq, is a clock and watch repair mouse who receives a mysterious letter by messenger from the most famous mouse in show business, Fluster Varmint.
The plot twists and turns as we meet the characters, get information about possible motives, and find out about an action film director making a documentary about Varmint's first big movie star, who mysteriously disappeared and is presumed dead. More and more details come into the storyline after Hermux learns that Varmint has been receiving threatening letters. Later, a background mystery that Hermux doesn't know about is revealed, and before long things in the book take an explosive turn. Finally, at the book's climax, the villain is arrested, and the second plot is resolved. This book is absolutely great. We don't know until the very end whether Hermux will stop the culprit's plan, and the mystery featuring the movie actress keeps you turning the pages for more. The characters in this book are extremely colorful, the dialogue is well written, and the plot gets more and more exciting as the book progresses. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. Even though it's classified as a fantasy, there's enough suspenseful-yet-funny intrigue involved to satisfy anyone who's a big fan of any of those genres. |
