Rats & Rattlers chronicles two 13 year-olds struggling at the end of the summer with bullies, honesty, friendship, and more.Here is an excerpt: Last year, the worst thing Butch did was explode two stink bombs in the cafeteria. He ordered them in the mail from Germany. They smelled like rotten eggs, and the stink was so bad in the cafe that everyone was evacuated outside. The more I think about it, Greg and I shouldn’t have talked to them. I know better than to hang around with that crowd and am pretty much forbidden to do it. If we didn’t go talk to them, the RATTLERS won’t even know who we were when school started. Greg and I are the new kids moving up to 6th grade. It would have been tough enough without the RATTLERS. Now, they will cremate us. This is going to be a long year.
