" 'Where are you going?' asked border patrol.
'We're going to New York to see our grandma and the Empire State Building and the Statue of Libery and everything. And our granny's going to bake us her very own apple pie.' She sounded so convincing. Some days I wondered who the Rat really was.
'What's your granny's name?' asked the officer. That's it! The Rat's Little Red Riding Hood performance had ruined us.
'Grandma, of course.'
I was relieved when I heard laughter.
'Would you like to see our birth certificates?' said the Rat.
She always had to overdo it! She wouldn't be satisfied until we were locked up!"
Meet the Rat: A dancing, soccer-playing, gangster-wise prairie kid.
When the Rat's father dies, she decides to head for New York. What can her older brother Bob do but follow?
Join Bob and the infuriating, fantastic Rat on their funny, poignant and gripping road-trip adventure.
