About This Book
"I WAS A RAT!"
So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it's true. But what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge is sure of it. A victim of "Rodent Delusion"? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground freak? He is to M Tapscrew. A champion wriggler and a budding thief? That's what Billy thinks.
