5.0

Being well into my thirties, I don't read a lot of YA fiction, but Rat City just goes to show that a great story can be enjoyed by anybody. Ree has captured high school life in Australia to a tee and used it as the backdrop for a gripping tale that throws adventure, mystery, science-fiction, and horror into the port (school bag for the uninitiated), leaves them to fester for a while, then invites you to peep inside. If you're into weird science, and not put off by puberty and rodents, give Rat City a read.
