Grade 3-6–Brimming with sci-fi action and futuristic gadgetry, Missile Mouse comes across as a James Bond meets Han Solo for the middle-grade crowd. The cocky, big-eared rodent is a secret agent for the Galactic Security Agency (GSA) who prefers to do things the quick and messy way. This penchant for disruption has the GSA keeping close tabs on him. When brilliant scientist Ulrich Vondorf is kidnapped by the evil Rogue Imperium of Planets (RIP), Missile Mouse is tasked with retrieving him. Adding importance to the mission is the fact that Vondorf has knowledge of the black hole-creating Star Crusher, which RIP could use to bring the universe to its knees. While the plot, featuring rescue missions and against-the-clock thrills, doesn't break new ground, it is satisfyingly efficient. Rarely is a panel wasted. The modern, richly colored illustrations will keep readers visually interested throughout. Entertaining, well-executed, and likely to circulate feverishly as soon as it hits the shelf, this first installment in a graphic novel series should have scores of devoted fans in no time.–Travis Jonker, Dorr Elementary School, MI

From Booklist
Missile Mouse, or MM to his friends, is an agent in the Galactic Security Agency and the kind of gruff loner ideal for deep-space adventuring. After he botches a mission and lets a valuable star compass fall into the hands of the dastardly Rogue Imperium of Planets, he partners up with a hotshot young agent, cramping his reckless-but-effective lone-wolf style. Their mission is to rescue a kidnapped scientist who holds in his outsize noggin the knowledge to construct a black hole–generating doomsday device that sure could come in handy for the baddies’ plans to rule the galaxy. The setting and overall look of this graphic novel owe much to Star Wars and the Halo video games. Parker’s fluid lines and animation-quality characters make for uncluttered action sequences, nicely kept PG with laser shots that knock weapons out of hands and more KOs than kills. MM’s fearless brashness makes for a winning hero, and the able mix of humor and urgency make for a solid space caper. Grades 3-6. --Ian Chipman --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The other day, my wife asked me, out of the blue, "What's a Missile Mouse?" Seems my two boys (aged 5 and 9) had been playing Missile Mouse in the basement, and she had no clue what they were talking about. What had happened is that this book arrived at my door, I opened it and left it on the table, and it promptly disappeared into whatever hidey hole my boys use to keep their treasures. In fact, in order to read it to write this review, I had to sneak it out, and read it while they slept.
I could talk for a while about how solid this book is, the story is involved and engaging, and long enough to be substantial. The characters aren't necessarily the deepest, but they feel real, and there are few hidden secrets that while obvious to an adult, are just secret enough to delight a grade schooler. And of course, the good guys win.
But as usual, I'm not the target market for this book, my boys are. And to give you an example, when I started writing this review, the book was next to me on my desk. Not five minutes have passed, and it's gone. I actually think the little one took it, and the bigger one took it from him. Such is the way of the world.
I guess what I'm saying is that this book is good enough that my boys are fighting over who gets to read it again. Try to find more books like that. |
