Ratty

Ratty Barclay wasn´t supposed to be born a four-foot-tall, walking, talking rodent, but thanks to the Barclay family curse, he´s had to live in hiding from the rest of the world. All he wants for his thirteenth birthday is to return to his family´s abandoned estate on Fairweather Island to somehow break the curse. Then he´ll finally get to live his life as a four-foot-tall, walking, talking, human boy. Edweena Gup, the granddaughter of the Barclays´ groundskeeper, has dedicated her life to being a Rat-Catcher Extraordinaire like her great-great-great grandmother before her. It doesn´t matter that Fairweather Island has been rat-free for over a hundred years-she´s determined to make sure everyone is prepared for their imminent return. And when she spots a human-sized rat lurking on the Barclay grounds, her worst fears are confirmed. Though it seems like Ratty and Edweena are destined to be enemies, they have a lot in common-they´re both lonely and misunderstood. But will they be able to overcome their fears of each other and maybe even become . . . friends?
