The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents - Discworld, Bk 28
Author: Terry Pratchett
One rat, popping up here and there, squeaking loudly, and taking a bath in the cream, could be a plague all by himself.

The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits. For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets ...

Set in Terry Pratchett's widely popular Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny. When one of the world's most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper -- or rats -- the same way again!

This book takes place in disc world, but could be read as a stand alone book for children. Terry Pratchett turns a few fairy tales on their ears, and with a little thought you can guess which one(s). Delightful story for lovers of Pratchett or Fantasy tales.

Very witty fantasy fiction by Pratchett, sort of his Discworld version of the Pied Piper crossed with Puss-in-Boots.
