Misunderstood by Rachel Toor
As much a moving memoir as it is an amusing pet manual, Misunderstood is a unique nonfiction book for teens and tweens about domesticated rats in general and a wonderful rat named Iris in particular. Brimming with smarts and energy just like its furry subjects, Rachel Toor's text blends history and science with profiles of interesting people and autobiographical anecdotes as it joyfully sets the record straight about why this reviled creature is actually a most amazing species. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of domestic rats--and may be convinced to adopt one themselves.Rachel Toor is a senior writer for Running Times and a contributor for the Chronicle of Higher Education. She also teaches writing at Eastern Washington University. Admissions Confidential: An Insider's Perspective of the Elite College Selection Process (Nebraska 2008) and Personal Record: A Love Affair with Running (Nebraska 2008) are two of her books.
