Publisher Comments:Skulduggery is afoot!
Welcome to Ratbridge. But beware — for there is skulduggery afoot. Young Arthur has fallen foul of the appalling outlaw, Snatcher, and is trapped alone in the town with every way home sealed. Meanwhile Snatcher and his men are working tirelessly in secret on a fiendish and dastardly plan to take over — and destroy — the entire town. With the help of Willbury Nibble, QC; some friendly boxtrolls and cabbageheads; Marjorie the frustrated inventor; and the rats and pirates from the Ratbridge Nautical Laundry, can Arthur thwart Snatcher's evil plans — and find his way home? Review:"Although satire, humor, and slapstick comedy are scattered throughout, the most powerful theme is that victory does not always come to the beautiful nor the athletic, but often rises out of cooperation and compassion." Children's Literature
Review:"Some readers might lose interest in the sometimes-rambling series of events, but the short chapters, intriguing creatures, quirky humor, and engaging art make this book a good choice for youngsters who enjoy lengthy and lighthearted fantasy." School Library Journal
Review:"The next episode can't come too soon." Kirkus Reviews
