A Discworld Story for Young Readers.

Imagine a million clever rats. Rats that don't run. Rats that fight . . .

Maurice, an amazing tomcat who has survived four years on the toughest streets in the whole of the Discworld, reckons that rats are dumb. Clever, okay, but dumb. Maurice, however, is smart. Smart enough to recognise that there's a new kind of rat around - rats who have been eating wizards' rubbish and can now talk. Smart enough to get a pretty amazing idea when he spots a stupid-looking kid playing the flute . . .

Now Maurice has his very own "plague of rats" - and his own Pied Piper. And his money-bags are getting fuller and fuller. Until the group reach the farflung village of' Uberwald. That's where the rats begin to complain. They want this to be their job. It's also where Maurice meets Malicia Grim - a young girl who thinks life works like a fairy-tale. But strangest of all, it's where they can't find any ordinary rats. Or rather, just the one . . . Could someone be playing games?

Terry Pratchett leads readers from tale to tail in this darkly imaginative and fiendishly entertaining story.

About the Author: Terry Pratchett

Sir Terence David John Pratchett(born 28 April 1948) is an English novelist, known for his frequently comical work in the fantasy genre. He sold his first story when just 13, and made enough money to buy a second hand typewriter, and has since gone on to be published into 33 languages and has sold more than 45 million books.
Terry worked as a journalist, among other jobs, until he turned to writing full time in 1987. He published the first of his Discworld series in 1983, The Color Of Magic. As far as contemporary English-language satirists go, Terry is one of the most highly regarded, and has won several awards, including being knighted in 2009, and has had bestowed no less than four honorary doctorates from UK Universities.
Pratchett has suffered with ill health from the mid 2000's but remains optimistic stating he'll be right "for at least a few more books yet".
