Malcolm at Midnight
by W.H. Beck
illustrated by Brian Lies
Malcolm has a secret: he's really a rat but no one can know! When fifth grade teacher Mr. Binney sees Malcolm at a pet store, he mistakenly believes that the small rat is a mouse. In his new home in Mr. Binney's fifth grade classroom, Malcolm adjusts to the life of a class pet. Soon after arriving he discovers the Midnight Academy, a group of all the school's class pets. Malcolm is eager to join, but soon realizes that rats are not welcome by some of the group's members. To gain acceptance, he denies being a rat. Despite his insistence that he can be trusted, some members are suspicious of him and, when the group's leader goes missing, Malcolm finds himself being accused of being a traitor. Can Malcolm solve the mystery and prove his innocence?
