The Amazing Maurice (a smart cat) and his Educated Rodents (a clan of smart rats) are planning one last rat-piper con job, but the town of Bad Blintz was a bad place to pick.

The smart rats are figuring out how they fit in the world, the smart cat reckons he just wants the money, the stupid-looking kid turns out to have a name, and the Mayor's fanciful daughter has read way too many books.

Meanwhile there's something nasty underground, and not just the shady rat fighting ring.

We discuss this first Discworld foray into YA and various talking animal books it might be in conversation with.
