    About this ebook

    In the irresistible sequel to Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat, Emmy, Joe, and Ratty rescue other children Miss Barmy has preyed upon

    Emmy Addison is an ordinary girl -- almost. If you don't count the fact that her parents are rich (very), her best friend is a boy (and a soccer star), and she can talk to rodents (and they talk back), she's very ordinary indeed. But she hasn't been that way for long . . .

    It was only a few weeks ago that Emmy and her friends Ratty and Joe got rid of the evil Miss Barmy, the nanny who had nearly ruined Emmy's life -- and the lives of five other girls who went missing. Miss Barmy is now a rat. How much harm can she do?

    • 4/5
      A cute sequel to Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat. I enjoyed the new characters that were introduced and the same villain from the original story.
    • 4/5
      Emmy is back, and now she really wants to be a normal girl, not one that can hear rodents talking to her. She struggles, and sometimes fails, to be true. When she finally sees her errors, she does her best to make it right. Good animal fantasy story.
