I loved this fun fantasy. It's not what I would call a scary-creepy book, but there's definitely something weird and a little dark about it... maybe the fact that one of the main characters is a dirty, rude, bite-happy talking rat? Then there's Emmy, a well-behaved little girl, who is barely noticed by anybody until the day the class pet bites her, and then her adventure begins! Readers who like the odd, off-beat nature of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events or Tom Llewellyn's The Tilting House will eat this up, but really, anyone who likes a good animal adventure or fantasy should give it a try. It's both a cool story to read and a big A.R. jackpot (NINE points!).
