The Rat with the Human Face: The Qwikpick Papers

This hilarious, highly original series captures the odd preoccupations of middle schoolers and will appeal to fans of the Origami Yoda series and gross-out classics like How to Eat Fried Worms and Freckle Juice. Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave form the Qwikpick Adventure Society, seeking adventure in their quiet hometown of Crickenburg. They overhear a construction worker discussing a rat with a human face seen in an old research facility's basement, prompting their next adventure. However, the mission to find the rat leads to unexpected trouble, putting the future of the Qwikpick Society at risk.
