I Was a Rat! So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it's true. But what is he now? A
terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge is sure of it. A victim of
Rodent Delusion? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground freak? He is to Mr.
Tapscrew. A champion wriggler and a budding thief? That's what Billy thinks. Or just an
ordinary small boy though a little ratty in his habits? Only three people believe this version
of the story. And it may take a royal intervention--and a bit of magic--to convince the rest of
the world. Set against the backdrop of a Royal Wedding--and a playful parody of the press I
Was a Rat! is a magical weaving of humor fairy tale and adventure.
