The Miceverse Chronicles logoA Smallman Storyworks series
Small mice. Big adventures.

Imagination is real.Adventure is calling.

Enter a virtual universe of talking mice, impossible islands, strange inventions, friendship and far more cheese than should reasonably exist anywhere.

The Miceverse Chronicles and its many colourful worlds
Meet Eli and Cain · The Squeak Squad

Their biggest adventure is the world they created.

Meet Eli and Cain - the Squeak Squad. Two best friends from Brackenvale with a passion for virtual reality and big ideas. Together, they spend their days creating incredible digital worlds.

Their greatest creation is the Miceverse; a bustling world full of adventurous mice, daring quests and, of course, mountains of cheese.

But when the line between creator and creation begins to blur, Eli and Cain find themselves at the heart of the very world they imagined.

Now, surrounded by the creatures they brought to life, they must navigate challenges, uncover forgotten relics, and discover whether they have what it takes to become heroes in their very own story.
