Author & Illustrators
This is a captivating story, beautifully written and imaginative. A story is full of heart and adventure, with great quality of prose, it has a good rhythm, and an ebb and flow of tension. The main characters were delightful, and the main character obtains a rat companion called Clay, after her initial negative impression of the rats. I would recommend it to any fans of Phillip Pullman, J.K. Rowling or C.S. Lewis. An adventure story with the feel of a classic.
