Ratburger is about a girl (Zoe) with a love for animals. She has a dream of one day becoming world famous by teaching her pets amazing tricks. Zoe has a few obstacles though, namely her nasty step mum (Shelia) who hates rodents and all other kinds of animals. Zoe is an only child, who has had a really nice relationship with her Dad, until something unforeseen happens to change Zoe's life.  This is a story about how Zoe overcomes many obstacles to achieve her goals.  I really enjoyed this book because I thought it was very imaginative and original, with a good message.  

I recommend this book for 9-12 year olds who like books about imaginative characters with real life problems.  I rate this book ****/*****
