New York City has millions of people, miles of subway tunnels, mountains of garbage-and a whole lot of RATS!

Meet Sammy NoseRat, a skinny, scruffy, sneezy little fellow who lives beneath the busy streets of Manhattan. Sammy is one of New York City's best Junk Scouts. He knows every subway tunnel, every secret passage, and exactly where to find yesterday's pizza.

But there's one thing Sammy knows absolutely nothing about.

GIRLS!

Especially Broadway Bella, a beautiful white rat with a spectacular singing voice and dreams of performing at the Metropolitan Opera.

Sammy is hopelessly in love. Unfortunately, he's convinced Bella would never notice a fellow with messy whiskers, a ragged yellow sweater, and two missing front teeth.

His best friend Tony, a pizza-making chef at the Ratty Underground Restaurant, has the perfect solution.

A MAKEOVER!

Suddenly, Sammy is taking baths, shopping for fancy clothes, visiting the rat dentist, and learning how to behave like a gentleman. But just when he thinks he's ready to impress Bella, along comes Blackie LeBlanc, the handsome, French-speaking leader of the Uptown Rat Pack.

Blackie has perfect manners, a magnificent pompadour, and a luxurious black cashmere coat.

Even worse, he's NICE!

Meanwhile, excitement is building beneath the streets of Manhattan. The annual Times Square Trash Dash is about to begin, and the rival Uptown and Downtown Rat Packs are preparing to compete for the city's greatest garbage treasures.

With Big Tooth Barney and his rough-and-tumble Downtown gang facing off against Blackie's sophisticated Uptown rats, there's bound to be trouble.

And plenty of garbage!

But when the competition takes an unexpected turn, Sammy finds himself caught in an adventure that will test his courage, his friendships, and his ability to survive without sneezing at the worst possible moment.

Can a skinny, scruffy rat with a terrible sneeze become an unlikely hero? And will Broadway Bella ever notice him?

Filled with hilarious mishaps, subway adventures, colorful characters, unexpected friendships, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, RATS! A Mischief in New York City is a funny, fast-moving adventure for young readers who love animal stories, unlikely heroes, and a little mischief.

Because sometimes the scruffiest rat in New York City has the biggest heart!
