The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
It's not a game any more ...Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice - a streetwise tomcat - leads a band of educated ratty friends (and a stupid kid) on a nice little earner. Piper plus rats equals lots and lots of money. Until they run across someone playing a different tune. Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil ...
"Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy" Guardian "Simply gripping story-telling" The Times "Pratchett is a prodigious creator of narratives..Maurice is packed with powerful themes and images...a very grown-up story, and a deserving Carnegie winner." The Independent "For sheer green-eyed-monster writer's envy, I have to confess to wishing I'd been the author of The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.Not only is it powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad, it is that rarest of things: a book that is heaven to read out loud to a pyjama-clad child." -- Debi Gliori Daily Telegraph
