"Proof that heroes come in any size"
March 2023 Book of the Month
This tale of daring adventure, a quest to return a stolen jewel and thereby end a generations’ old curse, is even more epic in feel because our heroes are two young rats, Tilbury Twitch-Whiskers and his sister Nimble-Quick. Together, they set out from home to journey over sea and land, taking on fierce cats and even a tiger, facing terrible dangers and shocking betrayal from those they thought they could trust.
Gill Lewis is best known for her superb animal stories but proves herself equally talented at fantasy adventure, the world she creates here completely convincing and full of wonderful, memorable scenes, details and characters. And, as in books such as Sky Hawk, Moon Bear or Scarlet Ibis, she shows us that big hearts and determination are powerful things, no matter how great the enemy you’re up against. A thrilling read!

I literally couldn’t put this book down. I read it in one weekend. My favourite parts were how the plot kept twisting, and then twisting again – so you could never quite guess what would happen at the end. The mood capturing illustrations really bring the story to life. The story shows that rats can be real heroes. Most people hate rats, you may well love them by the end of this tale....
