What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
Soon to be a Sky Original movie!
Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats . . .
But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word. EVIL. It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start . . .
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is a standalone novel.

Critics Review

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy
The Guardian

Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent.
Kirkus

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of... stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book
The Book Smugglers
-
Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series!

Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best.
