For former orphan Jemmy, life in the palace really stinks. Even though he’s not having to capture rats, as he did while living on the streets—it’s almost as bad. His official job description is to take the whippings for Prince Horace, also known as “Prince Brat,” since it is illegal to spank the heir to the throne. When Prince Brat decides to run away and take Jemmy with him, adventure ensues. They are captured by two good-for-nothings who think Jemmy is royalty because he is able to read. They try to hold them hostage, but Jemmy and Prince Brat escape—only to get lost in a forest. Will Jemmy and Prince Brat find their way out of the forest? Will they ever be friends? You'll have to read the book for the answers to these questions!
