Publisher's summary

Bernie and Jarvis dive into one mind-blowing marine mission in this action-packed sequel to The Mouse Watch! Perfect for fans of Spy School!

You've heard of the Rescue Rangers. Now meet the Mouse Watch.

Six months after being recruited to the Mouse Watch, brave mouse Bernie and shy rat Jarvis are now officially Level One agents and are getting along like cheese and crackers! They've already completed their first successful mission, and now it's now back to basic training with the goal of moving up the ranks in the Mouse Watch.

But more pressing matters are at hand (or rather, at paw). A mysterious radio transmission reveals that the S.S. Moon, a long-lost spy vessel, may still lie hidden under the sea. Legend has it that on board the ship is an energy source called the Milk Saucer that could save - or destroy - the planet. The Mouse Watch must get to it before it falls into the claws of their evil nemesis, R.A.T.S!

Bernie and Jarvis suit up - in scuba suits, this time - for a deep-sea mission on a submarine the size of a shark snack. As they come whisker-to-whisker with hungry sea creatures, a mercenary mouse pirate, the underwater city of Catlantis, and nefarious nemeses at every turn, the pair will have to use every ounce of their bravery and ingenuity to find the Milk Saucer first - and save the world.

Really Fun and enjoyable!

Okay first things first I'm not a child but I did grow up in the 1980s and 90s! And this book was really FUN! And the narrator was wonderful!
I have listened to the first two Mouse Watch books and love them both! It's makes me think of my childhood and the fun of it.
If you want a book the kids and maybe even the adults (the adults that are kids at heart) will enjoy and want to listen too.
The Mouse Watch Series to me will be a great listen!

Another great mission for Bernie and Jarvis!

Bernie and her partner Jarvis have been with The Mouse Watch for six months. Bernie is hoping the two of them will be promoted to Level 2 agents soon, but she's concerned about the mistakes that were made on their most recent assignment, which had been to rescue a kitten from a tree. Bernie didn't think the assignment had been fair, though, since it had been about a cat! it didn't matter that it was a baby cat. Cats were cats, and they were all extremely dangerous to mice.

But, before she and Jarvis get the chance to ask about it, orders come in for all Level 2 agents to report to the London office. Since Bernie and Jarvis are the only Level 1 agents, they are given a location and told to report there and follow the order of Chip and Dale. Yes, that Chip and Dale. The Rescue Rangers! While getting their new mission, Bernie triggers a message, which provides the location of the S. S. Moon, a submarine that has been missing for decades. The importance of finding the S. S. Moon greatly outweighs any other mission, and Chip and Dale suddenly change Bernie and Jarvis's orders. Will they be able to find and recover the S. S. Moon before the R.A.T.S. find it?

This was another fun adventure in The Mouse Watch series. We get more background information about our two favorite agents as the two of them battle their fears and the R.A.T.S. These two work well together, and I really liked how they supported each other when needed. As the action began to really heat up, I definitely liked the new take on the lost city of Atlantis.

I know that this book is marketed for kids, but if you watched Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers as a kid, then you'll probably enjoy this, even as an adult. That's especially true as Gadget, Chip, and Dale are all present in this book, and Gadget is the one who began the Mouse Watch organization.

If you've listened to The Mouse Watch, then you already know what to expect with another story in the series; if you liked The Mouse Watch, then you will also like The Mouse Watch Underwater. If you haven't listened to The Mouse Watch, I definitely recommend listening to that book first. Then listen to this one.

MacLeod Andrews narrates this sequel to The Mouse Watch and gives another wonderful performance. He pulled me right into the story and hit all the right spots with tension and emotion. Simply wonderful.
