The Dark Portal is by Robin Jarvis. Book One in the Deptford Mice Trilogy, this is a fascinating fantasy in the mold of Watership Down. Albert Brown is a married mouse with two children, Audrey and Arthur. He takes a trip into the dangerous sewers where the rats live. The rats who worship an evil god called Jupiter. Albert discovers Jupiter's evil plans and sets in motion a series of events that could destroy his entire family. Will Jupiter succeed or will the Brown children stop his evil plans? A fantastic story! Jarvis has invented a complete society and mythology for the mice, rats, and bats who inhabit his world. A wonderful tale of good vs evil.
