The incredible Carnegie-winning adventure, now in a brand-new gift edition, part of the Discworld Hardback Library.

Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats . . .

But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word.

EVIL.

It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start . . .

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

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.
