Publisher's Synopsis
'You saved one girl, Papa, ' Petra said. 'Just one girl. The rest are living in the alleys. Starving, freezing, no clothes and with no hope whatsoever.'
'I still don't understand why this is bothering you so much?' Ernest said.
Petra turned her head and stared out of the window.
A privileged woman who knows little of the real world gets thrown deep into the underbelly of the town of Fairacre. A town ruled by men.
A story of discovery and determination, Petra and the Sewer Rats is a tale of a young woman who dares disobey the town's rules to save its unwanted orphans. Will Petra's father, Ernest, still love her? Will her best friend, Nat, stay by her side? Or will they abandon her when she needs them most?
