Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls (Emmy and the Rat)
Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls
Lynne Jonell
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?Book Details:Format: HardcoverPublication Date: 10/14/2008Pages: 368Reading Level: Age 9 and Up

Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls review by VBer
Profile Picture
VBer

This book was about a girl named Emmy. Emmy can talk to rats but really doesn't want to. All she wants is to be normal. She wants so badly to be normal that she tries to ignore her close rodent friends when they talk to her. This is extremely difficult for her because Rodent city (the place where lots of rodents live) is being taken over by an evil genius and thief, Ms. Barmy. Ms. Barmy has some slaves that are really shrunken little girls that she calls the troubled girls. About a month before this story starts Ms. Barmy had tried to turn Emmy into one of these girls and failed.
