This second book, THE SANDS OF TIME continues the adventures of Hermux Tantamoq, mouse and watchmaker in the imaginary city of Pinchester. When 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.

"The Hermux Tantamoq series are wonderful! I think I read them when I was around 11, although they are probably ideal for ages 13 or so. Set in a make-believe town inhabited by mice and terrorized by cats, there is never a dull moment. The writing is great because though it's geared toward children, it's slightly advanced and encourages learning because the story is so enchanting. One of my favorite bits was the fact that the main character has a best friend who is blind, and I think that added an unexpected and intriguing element to the story."

— Alvin, 1/17/2014" Sequel to another teen book about a mouse who has adventures and fixes watches. It's amusing, and cute, and I know the author, so it was worth reading. Not great teen fiction, but good enough. "
— Megan, 1/11/2014" The Hermus Tantamoq Adventures are awesomeness!!! They are all really cute stories about a mouse watchmaker (Hermux) and his adventures with the mouse he's in love with (Lenka Perflinger). It's got everything: Adventure, Romance, Cute Animals, Suspense, and a mystery!!! You should read it! :D "

— Kirsten, 4/7/2012" I read this book in the sixth grade. Now, its kind of hard to remember. But all I can tell you that it is a mystery and is about mice. It was really hard to catch onto. At first, it didn't even sound like a myastery. Overall, it was alright but I woun't remamend it. "
— Rachel, 7/9/2010" The Sands of Time, sequel to Time Stops for no Mouse, was another great book. Again, we have the marvellous cheese. Like the first book, there may be some parts that bore you a little. However, I still recommend this to most people. "
— Snowman, 9/22/2009" Great, like the last one. The best part is the new idea of going to the desert! "

— Annie, 6/3/2006" Not a disappointment at all compared to the preceding book. Even more adventure follows when Hoeye continues Hermux's tale. "
