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...
Rebel.

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
