Description

Deep below the market, in the dark tunnels no human knows exist, a war has begun. Led by the charismatic Beloved Chairman, a colony of rats plots to exterminate the ugly two-legs who have tortured them in labs, crushed them with boots, and looked at them with disgust for as long as anyone can remember. ​

When the Chairman’s nephew is injured and a young two-leg nurses him back to health, however, doubt about the war creeps in. Now the colony is split—obey the Chairman and infect the two-legs with the ancient sickness passed down from the Old Ones, or do the unthinkable...

Review of THE GREAT & THE SMALL by A. T. Balsara

Rated 5 stars by Iris Chacon

DARK BUT ENGAGING RODENT TALE (no pun intended)


This reviewer received a free copy of the ebook without obligation to provide a favorable or unfavorable review.

Not since Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux has a rodent hero been so likable and sympathetic. Author A. T. Balsara has created a convincing underworld with medieval overtones as the backdrop for this fascinating story of politics and prejudice among rats below ground and humans above. Surprises and gratifying resolutions make this adventure a satisfying read. In addition to plenty of enjoyment, there is also a valuable lesson at the core of The Great & The Small.

No offensive material. Recommended for young adult and adult readers, especially those who love a good fairy tale or medieval fantasy
