Malcolm is often mistaken for a mouse, but
is a rat. However, just because he is physically a rat does that mean he has to
act like a rat? Or worse, a rat fink? When Malcolm (formerly a pet-shop rat and now
a 5th grade pet at a local elementary school) is accused of being
just that, can he solve the many mysteries that seem to keep happening? Can
Malcolm clear his name, make friends with not only the other school pets (who keep
their beloved school safe after the lankies (adults) and nutters (children)
leave) but the nutters of his classroom (even though that is strictly
forbidden)? A fantastic mix of fantasy, mystery and even a little romance! The twists and turns in are as many as the corridors of Malcolm’s new
home! Fun illustrations by Brian Lies
add to the adventure. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
