This is a great kids series- very much like what the first season of Lost would be like if the main characters were 12-year old martial artists- though I'm starting to get anxious for it to be wrapped up. Each book in the series is told from the point of view of one character- each of whom is an orphaned martial arts expert scattered into the world when their temple is burned to the ground. Each must struggle to fight, survive, and puzzle together what has happened and what they can do to stop

Book #6, Mouse of the Five Ancestors series was less action and more espionage than any other book in the series. The book focuses on ShaoShu, Little Mouse, who was introduced in Book #5, Eagle. A street urchin with a talent for getting into tight places, ShaoShu must rely on speed, stealth and intrigue to get by. Therefore, this book was all plot building. There was little fighting, other than a naval battle and a few pistol fights. There was very little kung fu here, as more and more of the wo

The smallest of all takes the biggest risks of allto save his newfound friends and closest family, it's hard to think that kids that age hwould attempt to sav the world even though it seems so unfair to them! A true story of honour and bravery, it's just awesome!

This book is the 6th in the 5 Ancestors Series by Jeff Stone. I loved the first few books, but now it's seems to have gone on too long. If you love kung fu and martial arts, this is a series for you. Keep in mind that the quality slowly goes downhill.

The sixth book in The Five Ancestors series. As this series winds down to its close, ShaoShu sneaks off to gather information for his friends. He stows away on the boat of the evil Tonglong and when found must pretend to help him to stay alive. But who is using whom? A wonderful continuation of the story line. You won't be able to wait for the 7th and final book that will decide the battle for the future of China.

This is adolescent reading but I enjoyed the story line (and the simplicity of the reading).
I've read the series (waiting on book 7, Dragon) and have enjoyed them all.

Shaoshu, a newly found friend to Ying and Hok is an orphan whose only name for his entire life has been 'Little Mouse'. His unnatural abilities to squeeze through tight places, pick keyed locks easily, and speed through streets without being seen make him a perfect spy. He starts out this story stuck aboard Tonlong's Man-O-War doing the evil man's dirty work such as getting a key from a grave and infiltrating the southern warlords lair by dodging trip wires. In the end, the emperor is being hel

Mouse is not a fighter, but he provides some key information and helps in some interesting ways. Just one more book in the series--Dragon.

In this book all the drama of the series starts to come together. This is when it started to become my favorite series.

The only reason I continue to read the series is to find out how it ends. Having a seven year old child placed in wartime situations doesn't thrill me. I am not impressed.

A book all about a thief. However for some reason this unlike all the others has nothing to do with kungfu :P

I like how Jeff Stone makes each characters personality like a animal's. Like in this book, Xiao Shu was like a mouse, he was sneaky and can hiding really well. All of his character traits are just like a mouse's. This is also another reason I like his books. Also, I noticed by looking at the books after this 1 that he also writes in a villians point of view. I would like to see what the villians are thinking because in most books, it is told by the hero's point of view and not a villains point

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the previous books, probably because it was all about ShaoShu (Little Mouse). I liked Little Mouse, but I missed the viewpoints of the young monks.

I think this series is one of my favorites because each book is from a different protagonist's perspective. This particular story was told from a little boy's point of view which was interesting because even though he didnt understand a lot of the things that were going on, he made his own interpretation. They sometimes made me analyze in a different way and at times it was cute.
but maybe from the series books i have been reading, i can predict what happens more easily.

Just like the other books in this series this was great! I really liked how the characters worked together and got on enemy lines during this book.

In this one, the 7 year old boy's name is ShaoShu which means little mouse in cantonese and he's not a martial arts master like the Fu, Malao, Hok, Seh, Ying, and Long but he has an extrordinary ability to hid in incredibly small places and he is very flexible.

The series gets better with each book. I like how a bit more of the story is told with each book. I'm really enjoying them and can't wait to see what happens next!
