Bookroo's summary
Emmy Addison, seemingly ordinary but with a knack for talking to rodents, faces a new challenge. After turning her sinister nanny, Miss Barmy, into a rat, Emmy wonders if the threat is truly gone. With her best friend Joe and rodent ally Ratty, Emmy must navigate a world where danger might still lurk in unexpected forms. Can a rat really cause trouble, or is there more to Miss Barmy's transformation than meets the eye? As Emmy uncovers secrets, she must protect herself and others from a past that refuses to stay buried.
From the publisher
Emmy Addison is an ordinary girl almost. If you don’t count the fact that her parents are rich (very), her best friend is a boy (and a soccer star), and she can talk to rodents (and they talk back), she’s very ordinary indeed. But she hasn’t been that way for long . . . It was only a few weeks ago that Emmy and her friends Ratty and Joe got rid of the evil Miss Barmy, the nanny who had nearly ruined Emmy’s life and the lives of five other girls who went missing. Miss Barmy is now a rat. How much harm can she do?”
