The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
Maurice has survived four years on the toughest streets of Discworld. He reckons that rats are dumb, but he's smart enough to realize that there's a new kind of rat around - rats who can talk. This smart cat gets his own "plague of rats" and a Pied Piper, but are there any ordinary rats left? Ages 8+.
'Other writers are mining the rich seam of comic fantasy that Pratchett first unearthed, but what keeps Pratchett on top is - quite literally - the way he tells them' The Times; 'Pratchett's writing is a constant delightNo one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of human endeavour' Daily Mail
Terry Pratchett's previous children's titles include Truckers, Diggers, Wings, Only You Can Save Mankind, Johnny and the Dead (which was successfully televised) and Johnny and the Bomb, which won a Smarties Prize Silver Medal and was shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Fiction Award.
