  <default_description>In the world of Mouse Guard, mice struggle to live safely and prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live. Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, three such Guardsmice, are dispatched to find a missing merchant mouse that never arrived at his destination. Their search for the missing mouse reveals much more than they expect, as they stumble across a traitor in the Guard's own ranks.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm a little torn on this book.  The art is lovely.  The medieval forest setting feels just right.  I'm also glad to see a medieval fantasy setting (even one with furry protagonists) with no mention of magic, sorcery, gods, or prophesies (at least none yet).  This is hard low fantasy -- with mice.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56373649">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a great graphic novel (comic book) but different because it includes chapters and an explained plot. This is basically like Lord of the Rings with the characters as mice, it's about a group of mice called The Mouse Guard who are sworn to protect mice, they were formed after having fought and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73719930">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd been eying this graphic novel because of the stunning art for a few years and just had never picked it up before. Growing up, I was a huge fan of Brian Jacques' Redwall series, so the idea of warrior mice was not any stretch of the imagination for me.<br/><br/>By far my favorite part of this w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70342163">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The world of the mice is well-developed and interesting. But I would have preferred to have the characters more individualized, both in their visual depiction and in their personalities and style of speech.
