The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

(Discworld Novel 28)

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats . . .

But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word. EVIL. It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start . . .

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is a standalone novel.
