A marvellously eccentric fantasy tale for younger readers set in the Discworld universe.
It's not a game any more . . .
Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice - a streetwise tomcat - leads a band of educated ratty friends (and a stupid kid) on a nice little earner. Piper plus rats equals lots and lots of money.
Until they run across someone playing a different tune. .

Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil . . .
Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy * The Guardian *
Simply gripping story-telling * The Times *
Powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad * Daily Telegraph *
An astonishing novel...I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places * Financial Times *
Great yarn written in fairly simple text * Liverpool Echo *
