Climbing the WQ Scale

My first graphic novel... how apt that it be one about heroic mice :D

This superbly illustrated series tells the story of the honorable mice who stand as guards for the many mice colonies. The one that I have is "Mouse Guard: Fall 1152," which is a compilation of the first 6 volumes. The first time I held it in my hands, I felt like a little girl again, holding my first ever picture book. It's just so beautiful!!! Reading it is like walking into a water color world full of adorable looking but brave warriors. There's this scene where Lieam is looking up at a snake, ready to do battle, and I just can't help but marvel at how cuddly but fierce he looked. (Yes, I can go on and on about how cute rodents are)

And it's not just the art that makes this such a terrific read. The story itself is engaging... full of sacrifice, mystery, intrigue, and betrayal. It will keep you entertained and enthralled for hours.

All in all, this is definitely one book worth the shelf space :)

P.S.
I want to be a mouse guard with a pink cape. Hehehe :D
