Summary: Roger insists he was once a rat, but now he's caught in a whirlwind of accusations—from monster to fairground freak. As the press spins tales and the world doubts him, only a royal intervention and a touch of magic might reveal the truth. Amidst a Royal Wedding, Roger's journey is a whimsical blend of humor and adventure. Can he prove he's just a peculiar boy, or is there more to his story?
