Jupiter is the god of rats. No one knows how he looks like because he stays in his dark portal all the time. One day, a mouse named Albert Brown goes into the Grill, which is the entrance to the sewers, and meets a young 'gray' mouse named Piccadilly from the city. They travel together and soon, rats kill Albert. His daughter Audrey finds Piccadilly and hears about her father's death. After, Audrey is missing. Arthur (her brother), Twit (Arthur's friend), and Oswald (Twit's cousin) go into the Grill, looking for Audrey. Jupiter is looking for Audrey and Piccadilly, because he thinks that they overheard a conversation he had with his lieutenant, Morgan. The rats captured Audrey. At the end, every rat sees that Jupiter is a cat. Audrey uses her mousebrass (A mousebrass is something that mice receive when they become of age. Audrey's mousebrass is the shape of a cat.) to kill Jupiter. Everyone is then happy and safe.

The mice are all believers of the Green Mouse, a legendary figure in mouse mythology. He is the spirit of spring and new life. ''We honor the Green Mouse,' Audrey answered.' She is a strong believer of the Green Mouse. I would say that this a kind of a religious type of book.

After Jupiter died, a wise bat said, 'Until the summer'' I think that means that in the next book, something very horrible will happen, and Jupiter might be involved. Somehow I think that Jupiter will try to get revenge.

I really liked this book because it had a lot of adventure in it. After I finished reading one chapter, I did not want to stop reading. It was so interesting! I would try to read until I finished the book. Books like this are what people like.
