About this book

Misunderstood: Why the Humble Rat May Be Your Best Pet Ever by Toor, Rachel. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374303082.

As much a moving memoir as it is an amusing pet manual, Misunderstood is a unique nonfiction book for teens and tweens about domesticated rats in general and a wonderful rat named Iris in particular. Brimming with smarts and energy just like its furry subjects, Rachel Toors text blends history and science with profiles of interesting people and autobiographical anecdotes as it joyfully sets the record straight about why this reviled creature is actually a most amazing species. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of domestic rats―and may be convinced to adopt one themselves.
