Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat

346 pp. | Holt | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8150-3 $17.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jonathan Bean. Emmy is ignored by everyone except her scarily perfect nanny, Miss Barmy. A rascally class pet rat introduces Emmy to a magical rodent subculture, which helps her discover the truth about her suddenly aloof parents and Miss Barmy. With its sinister elements beneath a light writing style, the imaginative plot is reminiscent of Roald Dahl. Black-and-white running-head illustrations create a flipbook effect.
