When rule-loving, leaf-collecting, piano-playing Jigsaw was naughty for good, he dropped his ratbag friends in a bit of bother - he gave them a good reputation! This nightmare situation needs fixing, pronto, and Ripple and Onion are the best ratbags for the job. But while performing some ratty mayhem, they fall into Cracker the cat's claws... Will their midnight mischief turn them into a midnight snack? Or will Jigsaw find a way to save them? Again!

Review

Following on from the first Ratbag book (which featured in our March Primary Graphic Novel selection), Jigsaw is back - and he finds himself in all sorts of trouble!


Jigsaw has managed to get rats in the paper for doing good – when their sole aim is to be naughty, break the rules and cause havoc for the humans! But Jigsaw is different – he likes to be good and he likes to follow the rules.


When a meeting is called and a challenge is set to bring rats back into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, Jigsaw's friends Onion and Ripple can’t wait to cause mayhem.


But Jigsaw is worried - what trouble will they all get caught up in, and will Jigsaw be called upon to save the day?


This is a wonderful second instalment in this graphic novel series that emerging readers will love.
