Juvenile Fiction. Folklore. HTML:<p>March 23, 2015<br /> In this playful retelling of the legend of Excalibur, a kingdom of city-dwelling rats is in crisis until a stranger frees the legendary Spork in the Scone to reveal himself as their foretold hero. But Joey is actually a human boy, transformed into a rodent by a Gondorff the Gray, a talking pet rat who happens to be a powerful Ragician. Joey’s quest to find Squirrelin the Squagician is his only hope to save Ravalon and return himself to human form. Pulling in references to <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, <em>The Three Musketeers</em>, and more, Lieb (<em>I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President</em>) gleefully spoofs Arthurian legend, paying close attention to the keen sense of smell leading Joey on his rodent journey. Lintern’s elegantly drafted pen-and-ink drawings bring additional humor and suspense to the furry underbelly of the cityscape. First in the Chronicles of the Low Realm, it’s a charming take on an old favorite about overcoming life’s twists and finding strength inside oneself. Ages 8–12. <em>Agent: Richard Abate, 3 Arts Entertainment.</em></p>. Publisher's Weekly. HTML:<b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>I Am A Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President</i> reinvents the Excalibur legend—with rats!</b><br /> When Joey is bitten by an elderly rat, he goes from aspiring seventh-grader to three-inch tall rodent.<br /> At first, Joey is amazed by his new rat self. The city streets call to him at night. Smells that would have repelled him before are suddenly tantalizing. (A chicken bone? Yes! A squashed cockroach? Like perfume!) And wow, the freedom! But when a bout of hunger leads Joey to pull the spork from the scone, he finds himself at the center of a longtime rat prophecy.<br /> Joey has unwittingly unlocked the sword Ratscalibur; and now, it is up to him to protect his new rat friends from the evil crows who seek to destroy their peaceful kingdom. But what does an eleven-year-old know about actual swordplay? And what happens when Joey no longer wants to be a rat? Media Type: Audiobook.
