The Road to the River:: Bk.2

by HelenArmstrong (Author)

Synopsis

'I love adventure. Ratties do.' This is the opening line of this wonderful story, narrated by Ratty himself. The peace of the city farm where he lives with his friends Cow and Woolly is shattered by a marauder, and he learns that there are wild animals planning to get their own back on humans by attacking the animals they love. In a rollercoaster adventure with a wildly exciting ending, brave Ratty - helped by Cow and Woolly and his new friend Chee the chihuahua - saves the day. The talented Helen Armstrong tells a gripping story that retains all the humour, charm and originality that characterized THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE.
