Jeff thought life on a space station would be a great adventure. Boy, was he wrong! His parents have no time for him, the captain has no use for him, and his weird robot caretaker has no tolerance for him.

Jeff is not the only one on the station feeling lost and lonely. Also on board is a Modified rat who accidentally stowed away while trying to escape the lab where she was created. When Rat begins emailing Jeff in an attempt to get food (she's a very bright rat) the two form an unlikely friendship. The thing is, Jeff has no idea his new pen pal is a rat . . .

Michael J. Daley has concocted a rare treat: a genuine science fiction novel for younger audiences. Humorous, exciting, and touching, the adventures of Jeff and Rat will delight anyone who has dreamed of life in outer space.

      Meet a rat who can read, type, and survive on a space station. An escaped lab experiment, Rat finds the station's only child, the messy Jeff, to be her best source of food. An unlikely bond develops when Jeff realizes his email pal is a rat. Daniel Bostick, who produces many of Bruce Coville's stellar productions, rightly gives Rat a reasonable voice while Jeff has a combination of adolescent whine and boyish enthusiasm. Other voices include a mechanical-sounding robot and some pompous adults. This is the most appealing rat to appear in public since Disney's "Ratatouille." Young listeners will want (I can't believe I'm saying this) rats of their own by the time a meteor shower threatens rodent and boy alike. M.M.C.
