"Fun and funny, this fast-paced page turner appropriately begins and ends with the unforgettable Rat..."
Kirkus Reviews
"A mystery is cleverly woven into this fun and, at times, hilarious caper, and children are likely to find themselves laughing out loud...a delightful read."
School Library Journal
A lonely girl, a cantankerous talking rat, and a nanny who is doing very, very bad things...
Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet - some days. Honestly, Emmy really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all...
"Ever since her parents became rich, Emmy's life has been a lot less fun - they disappear on long trips and leave her in the hands of a cold-hearted nanny named Miss Barmy. All this begins to change when Emmy is bitten by a talking rat. Soon she begins to unravel the mystery of her parents' strange behavior, gaining many animal friends along the way. Read by author Lynne Jonell and a full cast, the production is multivoiced without being fully dramatized. Jonell narrates with an understated curiosity and humor that allow this quirky tale to shine, while other cast members sound appropriate, if not memorable. This imaginative story is sure to engage the whole family."
