Ratbags 4

The fourth book in the stupendously rat-tastic Ratbags series, from award-winning, bestselling author and funnyman, Tim Harris.

The Ratbags are on holiday on the trash-filled Scum Island, where everything is just how the ratbags like it - terrible! Even cats are kept in line by a high-flying falcon, who puts on a show for the ratbags! But when Cracker is carried away to the falcon's lair, Jigsaw starts to worry... is the pesky falcon a feathery friend or foe? One thing's for sure, with the ratbags in town, the holiday is packed with action, danger and VERY bad manners.
