Meer over het boek
The Barnes & Noble Review: In his debut young-adult novel, Terry Pratchett invites readers ages 12 and up to explore Discworld, an imaginative realm familiar to his adult fans. This story offers a unique twist on the classic Pied Piper tale, featuring a talking cat named Maurice and a quirky group of rats with names like Big Savings and Dangerous Beans. Together with a boy named Keith, they concoct a scheme to profit from their rat-catching services. They create chaos in a town, prompting the desperate townsfolk to seek help. However, their plan takes a turn in Bad Blintz, where they meet Malicia, a girl with a vivid imagination who complicates their mission. The town already has a rat issue, allegedly under control by dubious rat catchers, leading to a perilous situation. Beneath the streets lie deadly traps and a monstrous threat that even Malicia can't fathom. As Maurice and the rats fight for survival, themes of life after death, good versus evil, and sacrifice emerge. While the story is filled with humor and wit, it also delves into darker elements, which may be intense for some readers, particularly in its portrayal of death and survival among the rats.
