The Mouse Watch is the first in a series of children's novels written and illustrated by J.J. Gilbert (the Pen Name of author and storyboard artist Jason Lethcoe) and published by Disney Hyperion Books. The concept is a Spin-Off of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, with Breakout Character Gadget Hackwrench as part of the supporting cast.The premise: Bernadette "Bernie" Skampersky is a daring 12-year-old rodent with a dream. Ever since she witnessed the murder of her beloved big brother Brody, she's been trying to join the Mouse Watch, an elite group of high-tech international crimefighters/do-gooders organized by Gadget. When the Watch finally recruits Bernie, she's paired up with another rookie, a nerdy teenage rat named Jarvis Slinktail — which she has a hard time accepting because a rat killed Brody, which has made her prejudiced against the entire species. However, Bernie and Jarvis are forced to work together when their training is interrupted by an emergency which leaves the fate of the world in their paws.The second Mouse Watch novel, Underwater, was released in May 2021; the third, The Mouse Watch in Space, came out in May 2022.Not to be confused with Mouse Guard. | |

| The Mouse Watch / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: All three books (especially the first one), compared to both the Rescue Rangers cartoon and competing children's book series such as Geronimo Stilton. Some scenes are surprisingly intense, and the R.A.T.S. villains are scarier and more threatening than the likes of Fat Cat or Norton Nimnul. | |

We Help the Helpless: The "Watchers" do more than fight R.A.T.S. and solve crimes. They save animals (and humans) who are in any kind of danger, and the training video says their duties can include "helping an elderly person cross the street" and "helping build a well for a thirsty village". | |

Fantasy-Forbidding Parents: Bernie's parents, Clarence and Beatrice, are mild-mannered mice who refuse to let her join the Mouse Watch at first, but finally realize how important it is to her and change their minds. Their initial reluctance is understandable, since they've already lost one child and Bernie is pretty reckless. | |

We Can Rule Together: Dr. Thornpaw invites Bernie to become one of his minions, noting that they share some traits, including resentfulness and mistrust of others. Although she refuses the offer, Bernie is ashamed when she admits to herself that he has a point. | |

Non-Action Guy: Not only is Jarvis a timid nerd who doesn't enjoy the risks of field work, he's always warning the impulsive Bernie to follow orders, think before acting, and not take unnecessary chances. However... Cowardly Lion: When Bernie or the other heroes need him, he's always there, and he'll do whatever it takes to save his friends. | |

Mind-Control Device: Dr. Thornpaw's Evil Plan is to subdue and eliminate the human population of New York City, allowing rats to take over. To accomplish this, he uses R.A.T.S. agents, plus a drone stolen from Mouse Watch, to infect people with his mind control formula, a modification of Gadget's sleep spray that smells like warm melted cheese. | |
