Bernie and Jarvis dive into one mind-blowing marine mission in this action-packed sequel to The Mouse Watch! Perfect for fans of Spy School!

All the while, You’ve heard of the Rescue Rangers. Now meet the Mouse Watch.

Six months after being recruited to the Mouse Watch, brave mouse Bernie and shy rat Jarvis are now officially Level One agents and are getting along like cheese and crackers! They’ve already completed their first successful mission, and now it’s back to basic training to move up the ranks in the Mouse Watch.

But more pressing matters are at hand (or rather, at paw). Accordingly, a mysterious radio transmission reveals that the S.S. Moon, a long-lost spy vessel, may still lie hidden under the sea. In addition, Legend has it that on board the ship is an energy source called the Milk Saucer that could save or destroy the planet. The Mouse Watch must get to it before it falls into the claws of their evil nemesis, R.A.T.S!

For this purpose, Bernie and Jarvis suit up—in scuba suits, this time—for a deep-sea mission on a submarine the size of a shark snack. During this mission, they come whisker-to-whisker with hungry sea creatures, a mercenary mouse pirate, the underwater city of Catlantis, and nefarious nemeses at every turn. Consequently, the pair will have to use every ounce of their bravery and ingenuity to find the Milk Saucer first and save the world.

The Mouse Watch Underwater Review:

I have not read the first book in the series, “The Mouse Watch.” Hence, when I started reading “The Mouse Watch Underwater, “I didn’t know what to expect. But, I grew up watching Disney Toon shows like “Duck Tales,” ” Talespin,” and ” Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.” It was a treat revisiting characters like Gadget and Chip and Dale in the story.

The highlight of the story is the two main characters. Bernis and Jarvis are dynamic in the lead as they quest to find the Milk Saucer. Besides, Jarvis is hilarious in his behavior. He is a tech-loving geek but gets nervous and stressed with the minor challenges and susceptible to whatever people offer. At the same time, Bernie is the contrasting, level-headed adventurer who doubts people and re-thinks all the situations. There are also side characters like Captain Crumb and Octavia who add nicely to the role. Another character who made me laugh was “Empress Cleopatra Marshmallow Fluffyface the Third.” The author wrote her in a deliciously evil yet charming way that makes you wish she were more prominent in the story.,

The author is so creative with the plot, and even as an adult, I found myself chuckling at scenes and admiring the creativity. From visiting “Catlantis” to using out-of-the-world technology, the author will completely immerse the reader in the world of The Mouse Watchers. They encounter various sea monsters like Barracudas and Krakens. Overall, the story is filled with action and adventure and makes you feel like watching a classic James Bond movie.

Overall, “The Mouse Watch Underwater” is a fun story that will surely entertain you if you are in the mood for a classic adventure.
