(4) YA Timid rat Efren ventures into the human London when his king dies, discovering a doctor's plan to kill all rats. Street kid Dogboy, Dr. Ross-Gibbon's assistant, can talk to animals, which presents him with a unique dilemma: help the doctor with his work or save the rats? Blacker's detailed world-building takes precedence over characterization in this sometimes gruesome, mature animal fantasy.
