Brat is a servant who works for a crazy professor on an island in the middle of the sea. The professor wants to wreak revenge on the settlers in the city and on the mainland for what they did to him a long time ago. He seeks to make a monster which will bring the ultimate revenge. But something goes wrong and it is up to Brat to try and conquer his fears and try and save the world. I simply lived this book and can completely say it deserves to be on the shortlist for the children's book award as it is a masterpiece! A believable and terrifying world with a plot that is pacey and will keep you reading until your bath has gone cold or that early time in the morning! I loved the characters (particularly Sherman and Tingle - who I think are based on my own pets!) And I loved the world that Gregory has created which is hopeful and fearful in equal measures. This is a story of friendship, courage, bravery and not judging a book by its cover.
