What glorious illustrations in this 'ratalogue' of events that happen at Miss Nibbles' College for Richer Ratlettes. Ethelyn, super brainy ratlette, wins a scholarship and is eager to learn. Bullied and unfairly accused of stealing cheeses, she feels so sad she summons brother Errol to take her home. While leaving for ever, the pair discover the true thieves, the dreaded Tina Toerat and her gang! In the rush that follows, disaster befalls Tina-can Ethelyn help or will Tina reap her just deserts? This truly is a fun read, which manages to deal with the sensitive issues of bullying and changing schools in a delicate manner.
