I read this book for my freshman English class in 2009. I remember that it was a difficult read, pages full of adjectives and verbs I had never seen before. An eyepiece? A jaunty, checked scarf? It was all greek to me. Reading it involved a lot of ploughing through dictionary pages and googling. And probably some swearing. Seven years later I picked it up again, pleasantly surprised: It was no longer difficult for me. The language barrier was lifted. Finally there was no hardwork anymore, only reading. And I loved reading.

I remembered reading this in high school after a friend recommended it, and then I found it a few weeks ago on a clearance rack at a bookstore. It’s an easy read and Hermux is such a likable character. A simple mystery about a watchmaker who’s pulled into an exciting chain of events.

This is a fabulous series for young readers. I read them as an adult, but thoroughly enjoyed the humor and the detail put into these books. A great read alound series. The main character is Hermux Tantamoq, a watchmaker, who gets sucked into these fantastic adventures along with his lady mouse love (did I mention he is a mouse) and a plethera of other rodent type creatures. They solve mysteries and crimes and there is always a happy ending. I am looking forward to the next in the series which is to be released in October. PS Hermux has a pet ladybug named Terfle. So cute!

Cute book, but a bit tedious to read with the strange names. Some very creative world-building, too.
But the ending was a bit too pat and one of those where the surprise was one that involved a character we had barely met, of which I am not a huge fan. It feels unfair when you don’t even remember who they are because you literally only met them in one small scene of the book.
