The adventures of Emmy Addison continue in this newest installment by Lynne Jonell. The plot is more complicated here, and the book a little longer, but it's a fun summertime read. Jane Barmy and Cheswick Vole (changed into rats in the last book) are back, and are plotting revenge. They steal Professor Capybara's secret formula for restoring their human size, send Emmy on a trip to Schenectady to visit two elderly great aunts, and Sissy has a chance to find her long lost ratmom. It's a busy plot (you probably should have read Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat and Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls first to avoid feeling confused), but fans of the first books will enjoy this quirky, entertaining tale. The flip-book art by Jonathan Bean continues here, and adds to the fun also.
