Grk Smells a Rat

India. The country of curry, chutney, tigers, the Taj Mahal... and the blue rat gang.

In Delhi, hundreds of children have been enslaved. Will no one help them? Does no one care?

One person does. And one dog too. On trains and rickshaws, travelling from slums to palaces, Tim and Grk plunge into the heart of India for the most exciting adventure of their lives.
