The Dark Portal
The first story in the breathtakingly original and utterly captivating Deptford Mice trilogy.
In the sewers of Deptford there lurks a dark presence which fills the
tunnels with fear: Jupiter, an evil being who aims to take over the
world. Worshipped by the fearsome rats, Jupiter's dreams could well come true.
Can the mice ever survive against such evil? Or have they lost the comfortable world they once knew for ever...
This stunning trilogy commences with The Dark Portal, in which Albert Mouse
squeezes through the Grill and disappears. Realising that he has been
captured by the rats of the sewers, Albert's children, Audrey and
Arthur, embark on a treacherous journey to find him.
