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

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.


Every world has its own characters, surprises and a little mischief.

A green-fingered explorer among the Miceverse's wildest gardens.

A fiery character from a world where the ground is anything but quiet.

Bringing warmth, wisdom and plenty of cheese to the table.

A bright spot in a world full of colour, sweets and surprises.

Always tinkering, testing and dreaming up the next big invention.

Taking the Miceverse on an out-of-this-world adventure.

Eli and Cain think they are just playing in the virtual world they built themselves. But when a storm tears through the Miceverse, everything begins to fall apart.
Separated from friends and racing against a growing darkness, their journey across the Pentapelagos becomes much bigger than either of them imagined.
Gail is the creator of The Miceverse Chronicles, a middle-grade fantasy adventure inspired by her son Eli and his friend Cain creating mice and worlds together in VR.
