Rats in charge

Have you seen the movie Rush Hour? Imagine the setting in Chinatown with two brothers, Fred and Ishbu - rats. Unlike the kid in the movie,its the adult who is MIA and the kids have a mystery to solve. The way Fred lists the clues known to him reminds me of questions from an entrance exam for MBA program where you have to think fast. A frenzy begins. Their journey leads them to the famous Loch Ness and further. They meet a secret clan of badgers. Whenever you enter a foreign territory you have to prove yourself. In ‘Koi and the Kola nuts’ Koi has to prove his mettle to a new tribe by solving three problems but these siblings have five tasks to solve before they can be ordained into the clan.

The integrity of the rat story in the human world is maintained very well without human interference in the story. The chapter breaks are comfortably spaced for children with each not running more than 3 pages. There is never a dull moment in the story.

I havent read the first book in the series but that didn’t see to matter in going on a worldwide tour with the pals with tails.

With a homemade library paste, we rolled the edge of pennants onta thread for Independence and Republic day celebrtions in India.

There should be a class called Explorers.
Why animal stories?
This afternoon I saw a cartoon on qubo about a cow couple, their horns jutting out of their hats, corn with the husk as a collar, Lucy the cat with unnatural eyes. The above story of rats could have been written with people.

This book lists Loch Ness as one of the places that cab change your child's life.
