Bookroo's summary

In a lively apartment building, new rat neighbors stir excitement and fear among the residents. As panic spreads, the bunnies upstairs remain hopeful. With tensions rising, the rats whip up a delicious dessert. Will the community's prejudice prevail, or can a homemade cake bridge the divide? Discover if fear can be overcome by a sweet gesture in this charming tale.

From the publisher

New neighbors have moved into the ground floor of a bustling apartment building. The bunnies upstairs are excited, but what will the other residents think? Sarah McIntyre’s funny, light-hearted tale reveals there’s no room for prejudice. The bunnies upstairs are thrilled to find out that rats have moved into the first-floor apartment. But when other neighbors discover the news, excitement soon turns to jitters, panic, and worse! As the residents descend the stairs to investigate, the rats prepare a yummy dessert. Will all of the animals make the rats leave, or can fear be conquered with delicious, homemade cake?
