About this ebook
LIKE ALL THE RATS in his tribe, Vasco loves nothing more than to scurry around the harbor in search of discarded fish. But one day he discovers that the members of his tribe have died under mysterious circumstances. Now Vasco is alone . . . until he reluctantly joins some fearsome rats who live deep in the sewers. Among them, he makes some loyal friends and some daunting enemies. And, as he begins to understand that humans are masterminding the extinction of all the rats in the city, Vasco sees only one solution: to flee aboard a ship.
Courageous, humble, and determined, Vasco does his best to guide his exiled companions to a faraway land where they can live peacefully. But in struggling to establish a new tribe, and to find a place they can call home, Vasco must endure countless dangers and rise to many challenges.

My grandparents took me to a book store when I was younger and told me I could pick out any book I wanted. I grabbed Vasco and dove into it almost right away. I love adventure and this novel is FULL of it! Yes, its about rats, and yes, it is a children's book; but I am in LOVE with it. The scenes can be quite graphic at times, but if you're looking for a good read then you should defiantly try it. I'm not fond of books about talking animals, but this really grabbed my attention with all the emotion Anne-Laure Bondouz put into it. And she really seemed to study these rats before writing her piece(not to say I'm an expert). I'd say children ages nine to twelve will LOVE it. If you're like me then you'll cherish it forever.
