My college professor would read chapters from this book at the beginning of our Children's Literature class each time we met.
My sons and I formed a "book club" to enjoy this book together.
It was so fun to be reading our own copy to ourself, to hear each other chuckle over words/characters and then to be able to share our amusements.
We loved this book!
Jemmy use to be a successful rat catcher. Then he was snatched to be Prince Horace's (aka Prince Brat) whipping boy. Whenever Prince Horace has done something deeming punishment, the king calls for Jemmy to be spanked instead!
Then Prince Horace runs away, demanding that Jemmy comes with him to be his manservant.
An comical, suspenseful adventure ensues.
The word choice, the plot pace and the character development are brilliant.
More books like this one need to be written and published!
**Highly, highly recommend.
-I own two copies of this book (thanks to my mother in law!).
