Hermux Tantamoq is an average mouse who works in his watch shop by day and spends his evenings at home with Terfle, his pet ladybug. But all that changes when Linka Perflinger, daredevil aviatrix, steps into his shop, drops off her watch for repair, and walks out with Hermux’s heart. When a shady-looking rat tries to claim Linka’s watch, Hermux knows that something must be terribly wrong, and embarks on a dramatic quest to find her . . .

This second book, The Sands of Time, continues the adventures of Hermux Tantamoq, mouse and watchmaker in the imaginary city of Pinchester. "Galloping plot, evocative descriptions and exuberantly sophisticated wit keep the pages rapidly turning."--Publisher's WeeklyWhen the museum announces a show of Mirrin Stentrill’s latest paintings—monumental, visionary portraits of cats—Mayor Hooster Pinkwiggin vows to shut it down. Cats are a touchy subject amoung Pinchester’s mostly small-rodent population. Complications arise when a mysterious chipmunk named Birch Tentintrotter claims to have a map to the royal library of an ancient kingdom of cats. When Birch recruits Hermux to help him find the library, they discover they’re not the only ones looking for it.

There’s something prickly going on in the town of Thorny End, and as Hermux Tantamoq is about to discover, it’s not just the roses. When rose magnate Androse deRosenquil asks him to take on an intriguing missing squirrel case, Hermux can’t say no—and before he knows it, he’s caught up in a mystery involving mutant bees, a rose fragrance rivalry starring cosmetics tycoon Tucka Mertslin, and strange incidents taking place on an uninhabited island with a troubled past. With the help of his fiancée, aviatrix Linka Perflinger, talented pet ladybug, Terfle, and a rebellious teenage squirrel named Twigg, Hermux must uncover what’s really happening on the island, find the missing squirrel and save the day—and deRosenquil’s roses— without getting stung in the process.
