The Mole Saga

The Mole Saga is a delightful family-created children’s adventure book series following the life of a mole named Mole and the friends he makes along the way. It consists of four books: Young Mole, Just Mole, Restless Moles, and Elder Moles, each of which represents a different period in Mole's life. Young Mole is available now on Amazon .
SilverCrater Mission Briefing
Writing of the Mole Saga began in the 1980s, but only one book was ever published, the first edition of Just Mole. After dusting off floppy disks and print manuscripts in storage for 15+ years, we bring the Mole Saga back back to life and proudly give Tripp’s work the recognition it deserves.
Doing this is far from easy. Things have changed since the 1980s, and reimagining the Mole Saga for a modern audience requires us to create full-page color illustrations for both print and digital editions of each of the four books. The first volume is Young Mole, published in May 2025 and available now in print on Amazon.
