This is a book that I will make required reading for a few of my older kidos. It is a funny story that deals with what people will do for attention. The heroin is a young girl who's parent inherit a large estate. Then unexplainably, they start to leave their daughter in the care of a nanny and jet set around the world. Emmy finds that it is not only her parents that ignore her, but that the whole world doesn't seem to be able to see her. This lonely girl befriends the classroom rat who through mysterious means is able to talk to her. As the story progresses, the girl solves the mystery as to why she is ignored by those around her and makes new friends. There are rodents who have the ability to effect behaviour that also play an integral part of this story.
I found this story very funny. There are a lot of play on words for character names. The descriptions of behaviors is clever. There are even some good fart descriptions for kids who are in the that stage that think that kind of thing is funny. I giggled through out this book, causing more than one of the team to ask what I was laughing at. There is also a flip book picture that travels down the outside edge of the pages. There is a lesson to be learned by everyone in the story.
