Black Paw (Spy Mice Series #1)

"DOGBONES! DOGBONES! DOGBONES!"

For Oz Levinson, life is always the same. No matter what school he goes to, it's always sharks — bullies — versus everyone else. What would Oz's hero, James Bond, aka 007, do? He would make mincemeat of the sharks. But Oz is no 007 — more like double-o-lard.

Then Oz meets Glory Mouse, a skateboarding private eye trying to take down the evil rat leader, Roquefort Dupont, and Oz is swept into a exciting world of espionage. But this is no make-believe movie. It's real life: mice vs. rats, kids vs. bullies, good vs. evil.

And all the power lies in one paw.
