Mouse
The Five Ancestors series is plain out fantastic! I started reading the books in middle school and took a break until recently when I read the 6th book Mouse. I would read this book a million times and more if I had the time. This book is a continuation of the last one and you read it from the perspective of a young boy which they call ‘Mouse’. Reading this book you see the story play out in a different way as the others, before it was the same story from a different point of view of the Five Ancestors but this one you see the point of view of a younger boy who has just tagged along with the Five Ancestors. Before he was nothing more than just an orphan living on the streets stealing food for a living, but now he is on an adventure fighting for the Dragon Scroll and the Jade sword and armor. The main motive of these books and for this book specifically is to see the journey of these five kids as they try to stop the evil in China and take what is rightfully theirs and to protect anyone they can after what had happened to them and their village. Each book tells a little bit more on the story and tells it from a different point of view of people to see what others were doing when the people before were doing what they were. When reading it is kind of hard to pick up on who is talking and when something happened but otherwise the books are pretty much straight forward and easy. In this particular story ShouShu or Mouse is the one telling the story and you see from his perspective how he got captured and how he made it back to everyone to help them. Reading this book was a thrill and finding out what had happened after Snake was lost and how everyone was separated was great. These books keep you reading and wanting to know more. I love this series and can’t wait to get the next book. If you want to read something exciting, invigorating and something thrilling read The Five Ancestors . I know I’m going to continue reading to find out if they can get the scrolls and the armor/ sword from TongLong the newest enemy of the Ancestors and to see if everyone can get along w/ Dragon and old enemy now an ally fighting w/ and Ancestors again.
