Emmy Addison's life is miserable. She has no friends, parents who come about every month, only to leave a few days later, and to top it all off a horrific nanny! After being bitten by the class rat, Emmy discovers that she can understand rodents. Later she befriends Joe, another one of the rat's victims. They assume that someone is trying to ruin Emmy's life, but who? Will they find the culprit? This book isn't too deep, but has a good element of magic! It's good for children. Sarah C., Grade 6
