Reviewer:  Lea T. '10

A boy named Roger believes he was a rat in a earlier part of his life. He can not eat with utensils and can not talk. All he can say is, "I was a rat". No one will believe young Roger about his "tall tales". He has many adventures after he runs away from home like, being taken into the circus as a human rat boy. Is Roger really a rat? Find out by reading I Was A Rat.

When a young boy claims he was a rat people realize things aren’t always what they seem to be. I Was A Rat was a very unusual book, but I still liked it because it had a lot of adventures.

I Was A Rat was about a young boy who was turned into a rat who changed into a boy at the midsummer ball. His name was Roger and he knew Princess Aurelia Ashington. He had no clue what it was like being a boy! Luckily, two elderly people took him in. He did everything wrong; like biting people, was held prisoner, and much more! Towards the end, he was considered a monster. Will Roger be saved before he is killed? Read this hilarious and very adventurous story to find out.
