Join the world of The Amazing Maurice, the Carnegie Medal winning novel by Terry Pratchett.

IT'S A RAT-EAT-RAT WORLD...

That's where Maurice comes in! A streetwise tomcat with the perfect money-making scam.

Everyone has heard the stories about rats and pipes, and con-cat Maurice finds a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and has his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats...

But in Bad Blintz, someone is playing a different tune and now Maurice and his rats must learn a new concept: evil....

Praise for The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy

Guardian

Simply gripping story-telling

The Times

Powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad

Debi Gliori, Daily Telegraph

An astonishing novel...I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places

Financial Times

Great yarn written in fairly simple text

Liverpool Echo

Will take you on a fantastic journey... wonderful, funny and gripping.
