The Dark Portal
The Dark Portal (The Deptford Mice, Book 1)
The Dark Portal
Robin Jarvis
In the British tradition of Redwall comes this first novel of a trilogy that is sure to capture fans both young and old. In the sewers of Deptford, there lurks a dark presence that fills the tunnels with fear. The rats worship it in the blackness and name it "Jupiter, Lord of All." Into this twilight realm wanders a small and frightened mouse-the unwitting trigger of a chain of events that hurtles the Deptford mice into a world of heroic adventure and terror.

Never cross over onto the other side of the Grill, is what the mice are told.  The reason - rats and their ruler, Jupiter, live there.  One day, Albert Brown (a mouse) is pulled by the strange forces of the Grill into it.  In time the hidden secrets and happenings beyond the Grill are revealed and the mice must put a stop to it or else all major destruction will occur.
