'I think it is suitable for boys because the book is about rats and other disgusting things!'
Stan Stinky is a young rat that lives in the sewers with every other rat. Stan wants to go to the Bahamas with his friends and classmates, but his mum doesn't let him go, because she says that it is to expensive, and that he is going to stay with his Uncle Ratts for the rest of the holiday.
There was nothing Stan could say to change his mum's mind because Uncle Ratts was already there. Stan's Uncle told him to hurry up and get on his boat so they could go on an adventure. Stan had no idea what his uncle meant, then he remembered a card which his uncle had given him which said that he was an adventurer and a caretaker.
Uncle Ratts's boat was called The Old Noodle which looked like a very old boat. Stan's uncle called himself Captain Ratts and he had a cockroach sidekick called Roachy. Stan had a tour around The Old Noodle from Roachy and Stan was excited when Roachy showed him that they slept in hammocks, then, they set sail.
The next morning Stan woke up early and had cheesy maggot pops for breakfast. He sneakily heard captain Ratts and Roach have a conversation about not being able to have fun because they had to fix a lot of pipes and that they needed money to fix The Old Noodle, Captain told Roachy that 'No adventures, meant no money' so Roachy said that instead, they could do odd jobs and the captain agreed.
Stan smelled the air and thought that the air was smellier, just then, Uncle Ratts saw Stan and told him about 'No adventures!' and that they had to fix The Old Noodle pipes and if they had time, they could do some treasure fishing. Stan didn't know what it was, so the captain explained.
After a few days of hard work they finished fixing the whole of The Old Noodle, it was old and creaky but it was less holey.
Captain Ratts said they were on to the odd jobs fixing leaky pipes. The first one was number 345 , the second pipe was No 496 next to Slime-on-the Sewer. When they fixed it, they found that a sock was blocking it, a human one! The Captain collected his fee of one penny.
They didn't have lots of money so the captain told them they would go treasure fishing to sell what they had found, they weren't fishing for fish, it was 'recycling'.
The next morning they went to Slime-On-The-Sewer to sell what they had bought, but when they were not quite there, they saw a giant wall of pants, so they took the bottle to get there.
When they arrived at the area they wanted to use, there was a horrid smell but they carried on setting up there stall. When they finished, they waited, but no one came.
Then the Mayor made a speech so they went to the town hall and the reason was, that something had been flushing lots of things to the sewers, and that's why the water was low, and the reward was 2 gold taps.
Ratts wanted the gold taps so that he could on holiday so, he told them his plan, to go up the drains to the house causing the problem, and fix it. So up went the captain and Roachy.
Stan waited, but they never came, so he climbed up to the drain and into the humans house and saw a small human flushing things, he saw Stan and chased him, then a voice came, and it went.
Stan found his uncle and Roachy in a cage of doom so Stan freed them and made a plan.
Roachy climbed down and made a big explosion on the wall of pants and they all came up the pipe and out of the toilet.
Stan, Roachy and his Uncle flushed themselves down the toilet and arrived with a roar of cheering at them, so they went to the mayor and got 2 golden taps.
The rest of the holiday they spent their time in The Bananas which was not the Bahamas!
I would recommend this book to boys who are 7 years and older.
I think it is suitable for boys because the book is about rats and other disgusting things.
I really enjoyed it and would rate it 9/10.
