Overall Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4/5) or 8.42/10 overall

Characters - 8
The characters in this book were a bit exaggerated (especially Edweena), but they were generally likeable and had thought-out personalities and relationships.

Atmosphere - 8
I will say there is not a ton of description in this book (though I'm a fan of that style so it didn't bother me), but the town and their attitudes felt reasonable and the layout made sense.

Writing - 9
The word choice in this book was impeccable and really showed off the characters' thoughts and emotions. I really like the writing style that Mrs. Selfors used, alongside the amazing illustrations that were sprinkled throughout the book.

Plot - 8
Honestly, this plot was not entirely what I expected from the description. It was less of a fantasy and a bit more of a mystery almost. However, I still enjoyed the story a lot and couldn't anticipate what the ending was going to be.

Intrigue - 9
I was intrigued right off the bat by this book. A book about a boy who was cursed to spend his life as a four-foot-tall rat? You have my attention. I felt thoroughly engaged by this book and wanted to know what was going to happen.

Logic - 8
This book was quite logical. Everything wrapped up quite nicely and while you might have to stretch your imagination a modicum, the majority of events made sense. I was left with a few unanswered questions, but nothing that seemed crucial. Hey, if the characters don't know how everything works, that's just life.

Enjoyment - 9
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read most of it in the course of one day because I didn't want to put it down. I will be on the lookout for any future books that Mrs. Selfors writes. :)

I really like the cover of this book!
The writing style and story turned out not to be for me, as it seemed a bit more juvenile than I can tolerate. However, I think that many kids will end up enjoying this tale.

I enjoyed this book a lot, love it when characters are animals, and in this case, a boy gets turned into a rat. The story is fast and fun, with a very satisfying and sweet ending. Edweena Gup wants nothing else than to spread awareness against rats and have the pests gone from her island (the island has been clear of Rats for a long time and she wants to keep it that way) until... everything changes when she realizes not all is as it seems and instead of fighting the enemy she must protect him. 
I also loved the illustrations and the cover has beautiful colors. Edweena is a great character filled with spirit and a good heart. Thank you so much publisher and Netgalley for this e-arc.
