Summary: The Dark Portal.
Review: In the time when the earth was green and blessed by the lord of the mice- the green mouse, a young mouse called audrey is shocked at the dissapearence of her father. On what supposed to be the most important day for a mouse, turned into a quest to find her father- and the truth. In her way stands the thing all mice fear most- the Grail and the lord of rats, a half god, half demon that is held within it. The Dark Portal is definitley a book I would reccomend all people to read. This book is not only superbly written, but it also has a great story line. This story portrays a mouse who shows true bravery, and burning desire for loved ones, in the face of uncertainty and danger lurking benind every corner. This story has adventure, fantasy and a lot of emotions in it, blending together to make a masterpiece and I think is destined to be a definite classic.

Summary: for all readers
Review: it is the first book in the trilogy and is a great book. the end leaves you thinking that there isn't anymore, but just wait till you read the Crystal Prison. anyway, this is one of the best book having talking mice and other animals. way better than what i have read of the Red Wall series.

Summary: The Dark Portal Book Review
Review: Jupiter's voice suddenly boomed in the confusion. 'Catch that mouse and bring him to me!' Cries and whoops came from the rats enjoying the chase. 'Now,' Jupiter commanded Morgan, 'deliver your spy-I shall peel him myself.' " Audrey Brown stars in The Dark Portal. Her father has died in the deep, dark sewers where the rats live. The almighty rat god, Jupiter, has killed him. Audrey goes down into the sewers to find him because she doesn't believe that her father is dead. This book is about mice - the good guys - and rat - the evil ones. Robin Jarvis has made the small world of mice into a new galaxy.
This book was very exciting. I like books with a lot of violence, so this was a great book for me. This book was more adventurous than The Crystal Prison, the second book in the series. Robin Jarvis has made some of his characters speak in British-English.
I didn't like the dull parts when the mice start talking a lot and get sadder every moment. I also didn't like the funny accents. The book has funny accents because Jarvis is from London.
If you like violence, this is a great book for you. For example, "What a catch!" said Skinner. "Let's make a 'bloody bones' of them." If not, this book won't be that good for you. This book really showed me how animals see the world.

Summary: Magic in the Sewers
Review: Normal, peace-loving mice and dreadful, war-bound, evil rats mix in this amazing book called The Dark Portal. This book is sad, exciting and scary all at the same time. This might sound like a crazy mixture, but in the mind of Robin Jarvis, this mixture would make a magical life-and-death story.

Summary: The Dark Portal
Review: Title of Book: The Dark Portal
By: Robin Jarvis
Reviewed by: M. Poppins
Period: 5 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.
