Lenny Lemon has only the best intentions when he takes Ratty, a large, lively and surprisingly strong rat into school. Year Five are doing Olden Days School and he’s determined that for once his class, 5B, will beat practically perfect 5A. Ratty could be the winning ticket, after all, what’s more olden days than a wild rat?
Unfortunately this is one of those occasions when Lenny’s attempt to do the right thing, turns out to be the wrong thing. Ratty escapes and pandemonium breaks out as Lenny, his friend Sam and new girl Jess try to catch him.
Narrated with the clear-eyed forthrightness of a ten-year-old, this is very funny indeed. The target audience will love it, but there are treats for adults too including a perfectly timed Thesaurus joke half way through. One to recommend to fans of Pamela Butchart and Danny Wallace .
Hilarious school-based comedy for 7+ with black and white illustrations throughout. A modern day Just William!
Read the full description
Lenny Lemmon is looking forward to Olden Days Day at school. It's a chance to break the routine and try school as it was years ago. It explains the blackboard in the corner, his teacher's bad temper and why his friend Sam looks like Oliver Twist.
And Lenny's pleased with his own contribution, too. It's in a cardboard box at the back of the class at the moment because it's not yet time to shine. Except it escapes and ends up in the bowl of sick, sorry, gruel, that Amelia Kelly has brought up, sorry, in.
Soon there are small, gruelly footprints all over the classroom and also a lot of screaming because the rat that Lenny found by the back of the chip shop is FREE. It takes the arrival of cool new girl, Jessica Conrad, to distract everyone. Jessica has a plan to catch the rat but it'll cost them.
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 they're going to need a bigger net...

I liked the illustrations in this book especially the rat because it looks mischievous and quite funny.
In this book I liked there was a rat that escapes its cage during school and the whole class goes into full-blown panic. I also liked this book because it was like an adventure and the book made me feel quite intrigued to know more of what happened.... Read Full Review

Hilarious brilliant book.
Lenny and Sam are looking forward to the olden Days Day at school. Everyone brought something from home to show and tell. Lenny was the last one to show his and it was a rat. The Rat had escaped and the children were screaming in the classroom, Ms Bottley blows the whistle and the class goes silent. They find the Rat under the sink. All the children run away scared.
