Ratnip is a city rat who loves to collect treasures. He and his siblings live in an old pizza restaurant with a racoon named Cookie, and they all come out at night to eat the delicious things humans leave behind. One night Ratnip finds the Thing. It buzzes, lights up, and has a human's face on it. With the help of his friends, will Ratnip be able to complete his mission and return the Thing to its human?

This is a cute early chapter book with a very simple plot. It seems to be set in New York City. It's not my favorite early chapter book that I've read, but kids will likely enjoy it.

The human in the story has dark skin.
