Customer Reviews

Loved the series

My 14 year old son had a hard time finding ANY books to hold his interest. He loved this whole series. He actually looked forward to reading each one. A big thank you to the author for writing something that my son could actually get into. It may be written for children below his reading level but at least he is reading by choice and not because he is being forced to.

We like all of Jeff Stones books. We like to read the books because they are interesting.

The Five Ancestors Book 6: Mouse

My daughter loves this series and only wished this book was longer. Fast service and great price.

Another great book in the series

My wife and I collect children's book and we stumbled upon this series with the very first book of the series, Tiger, and we immediately were captured by the story, action and issues. The series progresses taking a new character viewpoint of a centrally unfolding story. This is a great series of books especially for parents who are trying to find books to interest their sons, although there are strong female characters as well so your daughters should like it too. Mouse is the newest book in the series and it's advances the story well from a very different viewpoint. Each of the books has several subtle lessons to teach, and the author does so without being preachy or pedantic. Buy this book and get the rest of the series. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome

I love this series, first off. This book is no exception. It's got all the action, and features Hok and Ying's new friend, Shaosu. O.K., he can't fight. But he can sneak around, and makes the reader think. Love it.
