Set sometime in the past in London, an orphan boy known as Dogboy because he is good with dogs and a homeless girl named Caz become entwined in a politically driven war against the rats. Efren is the main rat character along with Malaika, his female rat friend/love interest. Efren lives in the rat kingdom in the sewers where the rats communicate by "revealing" their thoughts to one another mind to mind. Caz is able to hear the rats "revealing" and so she can communicate with them. Dogboy has two jobs - he works for a "doctor" who is fascinated with rats and helps start the war on rats and he also works for a man named Bill who supplies rats for pit fights where dogs compete to kill rats the fastest. Eventually, it is up to the children and the rats to stop the war on rats before all the rats are destroyed. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
