Story1
It's a truth universally acknowledged that the seventh-born rat of the seventh-born litter is a rat in want of adventure. Tilbury Twitch Whiskers is no exception, but he doesn't know it quite yet. This is a story about the dockland rats that live alongside the Thames in London. Like us, the rats have grown with the ever-expanding city, and like us, the rats have an eye for trade and stolen goods.

Eleven-year-old Kofi Offin has dreams of water, of its urgent whisper that beckons with promises and secrets. He has heard the call on the banks of Upper Kwanta, West Africa, where he lives. He loves these things above all else: his family, the fireside tales of his father’s father, a girl named Ama, and, of course, swimming. But when the unthinkable – a sudden death – occurs during a festival between rival villages, Kofi ends up in a fight for his life. What happens next will send him on a harrowing journey across land and sea, and away from everything he loves.

She's a runaway too, and although she’s a bit posh, she’s just as determined as Bill to stay free of interfering parents and 'the social'.
