About
the
Book
A
tough-guy mouse with BIG ideas . . .
Merciless Marvin the
Magnificent is not your average theater mouse. He’s a crime boss. Along
with his mouse gang, Fats the Fuse and Raymond the Rat, he spends his days
watching gangster movies in their theater home, and pulling the occasional heist
involving popcorn machines and candy bars. But Marvin longs for the Big Time. He
wants an adventure on the Outside, a place no mouse has ever returned from
alive. Marvin hitches a ride out of the theater and discovers a cheese shop
nearby. It’s the perfect target for his gang’s biggest heist yet.
But can Marvin, Fats, and Raymond agree on the right plan? And what happens when
the mice come face-to-face with the Enemy and his furry feline
friend?
