OH MY. I know not where to start. So many liberties taken with other works. The rat Ragician (because men do magic, rats do ragic):Gondorff the Grey, King Uther, Sir Arimis, a quest, pulling the spork from the scone....and of course I can't forget Squirrelin the Squagician (because Squirrels do Squagic)....my nieces enjoyed having it read to them (ages 5 & 9) of course they did not understand my groans when we came across some characters and what they did. lol ( )

A book that will appeal to fans of King Arthur! ( )

It's a classic adventure story but translated through the lens of a boy who becomes a rat in the city. I think that this story won't necessarily be every kid's cup of tea, but I think some will enjoy it, especially those who can relate to the circumstances of the main character having this nervously tense situation around them in the beginning of the story, and having to discover the unknown. There's quite a bit of subtext in this boy's family life to unravel, and I think it might be a reasonable book for broaching the very concept of subtext.

You have to be ok with rats and rodents to enjoy this book. The story is a reinvented version of the story, Exacalibur and it involves a boy who turns into a rat and must fight his way out. The book is humorous and full of exciting battle scenes. ( )
