Malcolm at Midnight

266 pp. | Houghton | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-68100-9 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Lies. Malcolm is a class pet who stumbles upon a midnight meeting of all the school's pets. But unlike the rest--rabbits, mice, fish--Malcolm is a rat, and rats have a bad rap. Malcolm struggles with his identity and escapes many close encounters to prove that he has McKenna School's best interests at heart. An age-appropriate if somewhat derivative story about believing in yourself and building meaningful friendships.
