Ship Rats - A Tale of Heroism On the High Seas

By Rhian Waller

The ocean is huge and dangerous when you are only two inches tall!

Lu, Rip and Preen, three young rats, accidentally stow away on a Dutch freighter. They face storms, hostile ship rats, drunken sailors and more; and this is only the start of their voyage around the world...

Winner of a Wishing Shelf Gold Award in 2017.

For readers aged 7-8 (reading with adult) or 9-10 (independent reading). This book raises funds for APOPO HeroRATs, an anti-land mine organisation.
