Grk Smells a Rat

Ever since he found his dog Grk, 12-year-old Tim Malt has had adventures he would not have had otherwise. First, he went from his home in England to a small European country to save Grk's first owners, Max and Natascha Raffifi, who were left as orphans when the country's dictator killed their parents. In //Grk Smells a Rat//, Tim and his parents, who have taken guardianship of the siblings, accompany them to India, where Max is competing in a tennis tournament. As they travel to tour the Taj Mahal, they meet a boy who is selling pirated books, and they start on a new adventure, this time one involving a strange gang headed by a rat. This latest Grk book, the fifth in a series, delivers action and peril tailored nicely for young readers and serves it with sides of fun and silliness. It's great entertainment for middle readers.
