Advantages: Very funny rats

Disadvantages: The annoying mayors daughter

Take a talking cat, some talking rats & a funny looking kid who turns out to be called Keith. It might not sound like much when said like that but throw in a tap dancing rat, A girl whose Aunts wrote fairy tales and who is convinced every life should tell a story and 2 crooked Rat Catchers who have done a really stupid thing in a town thats almost starving from lack of food.

The rats are great characters and their gradual discovery that the book they thought was factual turns out to be a childrens story. A mayors curious daughter who spends her time searching for stories that she is sure must exist.

This book has a great outcome, a brilliant match of who is the greatest Rat Piper with Keith managing to win using a trombone (which has keys if you own a 1st edition but has been corrected to not having keys in later reprints).

Summary: Pied Piper turned on its head
