One of the better ones from Terry Pratchett that are able to appeal to a wider range of audiences. Unlike so many of hi others, this one is not only suitable for children- but also has a plot! I enjoyed this book, it was well conceived. An improvement on the usual.

Maurice and the rats discovered that they'd become intelligent after living close to the Unseen University. And now they are out to con a little cash out of the human population. A great story, and one that can be appreciated by young and old alike.
