Description
11-year-old Ruth is stuck in a family who just don't understand her.
It takes a magical encounter with the sharp-nosed and even sharper-tongued Rodney the Rat to help her see what's really important.
Ruth is sick of her annoying family who are all too busy and preoccupied with their own lives. Her brothers are exasperating and her parents are embarrassing and nobody understands her
except her beloved aunt, Mary Ellen, who has just died. But when Rodney the Rat grants her three chances to wish for her perfect life, Ruth gets a whole lot more than she bargained for.
Her first wish is for the perfect family
but that is boring and strangely oppressive, and she misses her brothers. So in her second wish she thinks it would be best to have no family at all. But that doesnt turn out too well either. Finally she wishes she could just be somebody who is noticed
A moving, warm and funny story about family, friends and coming back home from best-selling author Maureen McCarthy.
