Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 is a graphic novel about the protectors of mouse society: the mouse guard. Three brave mice of the guard set out on a normal mission, but discover a conspiracy!

I loved seeing these awesomely drawn mice fight evil in their own mouse-y way. I also enjoyed how much color was in this graphic novel!

This story is exciting, full of adventure, and WAY fun to read.
