Trickster - Softcover

'A book to dig down deep into, and make a nest with.' (Imogen Williams, Middle Grade Strikes Back blog)

'The world of rats is carefully created and delicately described.' (The Book Trust)

This is a beautifully told story (The School Librarian)

First a rat must earn his name. Then he must live up to it.
This is the story of Gabble, a young rat with a wild, beloved, but unpredictable brother, Ash. At the start of the book Ash tricks Gabble into going out with him on a 'name raid', a dangerous mission to earn a True Name, normally reserved for older rats. Gabble finds himself drawn into a perilous adventure, crossing boundaries, fighting with enemy rat packs, and eventually being forced to confront both his brother and himself in the most dramatic fashion.
