| Description | In this Pick of the Week video, teenage students will be introduced to "Joe Rat" by Mark Barratt. Summary--In the tradition of great Dickensian fiction, Joe is an orphan who lives by his wits in squalid, dangerous London. He makes his living searching for loot in the sewers. And then he hands all the goods over to Mother—a formidable woman who rivals Dickens' Miss Havisham in ferocity and hideousness. But Joe's life changes in an instant when he risks everything to save a desperate girl ... and ends up in the home of a madman. From there, "Joe Rat" follows Joe's race for survival through some of the worst parts of London, into the country, and then back to London—and straight into the clutches of his worst enemies. What will become of Joe? Mark Barratt can't compete with Dickens when it comes to tying things up, but he will have you cheering for Joe from start to finish. This is a great resource to entice and encourage upper grade readers. |
