Survival of the fittest takes on new meaning in this action packed adventure series about a remarkable colony of mice. Long ago, the creatures of Megiddo struggled for survival, forced to burrow in order to escape the harsh landscape and savage beasts who roamed the surface. But all of this changed when a colony of mice happened upon a mysterious shard from a fallen star buried deep underground. This "blessing from the sky" forever changed the mice's fate, granting them long life and advanced knowledge. In time, more shards were discovered by the colony further enhancing their strength and abilities. They became Mech Mice, guardians of good and protectors of innocent creatures everywhere. Today, the Great Colony flourishes but there are some who wish to control the shards and use their power for a darker purpose. Only the Mech Mice stand between the forces of evil who seek to rule Megiddo with an iron paw. Book 1 " Ears up, Mice!

With communications limited and the threat of sabotage looming over their heads they must battle an army of cybernetic bugs and overcome their own fear of failure, in order to thwart an attack on the Mech Mice burrow. ABOUT THE What do you get when you combine the creative mind of Lance Priebe (inventor and co-creator of Club Penguin) and the award-winning writing talents of The Miller Brothers (Codebearers Series)? The answer could be the next big brand for pre-teen kids. Mech Mice is an imaginative blending of many - science fiction and fantasy - novel and graphic novel - book and (soon) online game The entire family is sure to love this epic tale of heroism and brotherhood. The print edition is an ideal read aloud, enhanced with dozens of imaginative illustrations by Cale Atkinson.
A fun, light read. The mice go on a crazy adventure and fight evil and try to do good as well as defend the inoccent. There was even something of a conspiracy idea going on in the book which was interesting. The characters were nicly developed but I feel they could have been deeper. I am interested in where this story goes from here and will check out the accompanying video game when it comes out.
Another great book from my favorite authors, the Miller Brothers. While the font changes bothered me, the story was very well-written and the illustrations by Cale Atkinson added to the experience. Altogether, I recommend this book to anyone!
