Opis

Winner of the 2014 Indie Reader Discovery Award for Childrens Fiction. Whisker is a cyclone-surviving circus rat with a troublesome tail and a boat load of luck. When a strange ship pulls him out of the ocean, Whiskers new life as a Pie Rat apprentice begins. Welcome aboard the good ship Apple Pie - a peculiar pastry ship where cannons shoot mouldy pies, coloured pencils are used as peg-legs and the champion swords-rat fights with two scarlet scissor swords. The Forgotten Map is the first instalment in the Pie Rat series for children age 8+. It includes maps, diagrams and character sketches. Fast moving passages of text take the reader on a swashbuckling adventure where danger and humour intertwine in true pirate fashion. The book takes a look at the meaning and importance of family through the desperate eyes of a young rat who has lost everything.
