Join the world of The Amazing Maurice, the Carnegie Medal winning novel by Terry Pratchett.

IT'S A RAT-EAT-RAT WORLD...

Rats! They're everywhere- in the breadbins, dancing across tabletops, stealing pies from under the cooks' noses. So, what does every town need? A good piper to lure them away.

That's where Maurice comes in! A streetwise tomcat with the perfect money-making scam.

Everyone has heard the stories about rats and pipes, and con-cat Maurice finds a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and has his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats...

But in Bad Blintz, someone is playing a different tune and now Maurice and his rats must learn a new concept- evil....

Reviews for The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents: Film Tie-in

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy * The Guardian * Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent. * Kirkus * It never ceases to amaze me the amount of... stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book * The Book Smugglers * Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series! * Reading Bug * Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best. * Speculation *
