Zapped - Paperback

by Prudence Breitrose (Author)

Gerbils have long felt disrespected. Why? Because although they are much smarter than mice, they've never had as much publicity. There's no Mickey Gerbil at Disneyland-no gerbil Despereaux or Stuart Little. Gerbils have never starred in children's books wearing clothes, and living in well-furnished accommodation.

That all changes when some proud, free gerbils meet Joe, a ten-year-old boy whose father is an inventor. And his latest invention is the Nanozap, a machine that can shrink things to gerbil size.

Can the gerbils get their paws on this machine, and use it to raise their status to that of the fully-furnished mouse? Even if they might have to shrink Joe in the process?
