"A hilarious, highly illustrated romp for readers of 6+" – The Guardian


"A laugh-out-loud story of rodent mayhem. This book has it all!" – Lenny Lemmon (aka expert boredom buster)


Join Lenny and his best friends Sam and Jess in their hysterical hijinks. Expect animals on the loose, paranormal invasions, shut down schools and lots of laughs!


It's Olden Days Day and Lenny is determined his class will win the competition. In fact he is certain of it because he's brought in something special ... a RAT! (They totally had those everywhere in the olden times.)


But what he wasn't banking on was it escaping and leaving small, gruelly footprints all over the classroom and A LOT of screaming (because Lenny's rat is ACTUALLY a wild rat found by the back of the chip shop).


Can the three kids round up the rat before more damage is done? Or will they end up in the headmaster's office, again. Maybe, but one thing is for certain, they're going to need a bigger net!
