Ever since her parents became rich, Emmy's life has been a lot less fun--they disappear on long trips and leave her in the hands of a cold-hearted nanny named Miss Barmy. All this begins to change when Emmy is bitten by a talking rat. Soon she begins to unravel the mystery of her parents' strange behavior, gaining many animal friends along the way. Read by author Lynne Jonell and a full cast, the production is multivoiced without being fully dramatized. Jonell narrates with an understated curiosity and humor that allow this quirky tale to shine, while other cast members sound appropriate, if not memorable. This imaginative story is sure to engage the whole family. F.G. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Starred review from August 27, 2007
Jonell's (the Christopher and Robbie picture books) first novel is a lustrous affair, a droll fantasy with an old-fashioned sweep and a positively cinematic cast. The beginning will hook readers right away: the class pet, a rat, mocks the protagonist for being too good. “It doesn't get you anywhere,” he tells her. “The only thing that happens is, you get ignored.” When the teacher doesn't even seem to see the girl a few pages later, the rat has made his case for being bad, and Jonell has launched a truly labyrinthine plot involving prodigally endowed rodents and nefarious schemers with entangled pasts. Emmy, the heroine, must face down evil nanny Jane Barmy and win back the love of her parents, former booksellers who, since inheriting Great-Great-Uncle William's fortune, spend all their time jet-setting and buying themselves the very best of everything. Her challenge increases when the rat—freed by Emmy, one of the few characters who can hear him talk—accidentally shrinks her to his size. Jonell's villains aren't too frightening to be good targets for jokes, and the rat serves as an excellent comic foil. Occasionally the eccentricities of the plot sidetrack the action or otherwise bog down the pacing, but for the most part the narrative proceeds at an assured clip. To top off the fun, Bean (At Night
and The Apple Pie That Papa Baked
, both reviewed above) decorates the margins with drawings that produce a flip-book effect: the rat falls from the bough of a tree, covering his eyes as he somersaults backward in mid-air to land in Emmy's outstretched hand. Ages 9-up.
