Rat by Priscilla B. Shuler is a coming-of-age story that features Ryan Alexander Trenton. Abandoned in childhood as an orphan, he gradually paves his path in life, becoming a respectable gentleman. His story was a remarkable one, full of daring adventures. The story also offers much in the romantic department, making it a wholesome read. The intriguing cast of characters with their unique backstories make this an engrossing read. The novel is an emotional roller-coaster offering the readers absolute joy, mind-numbing grief, and everything in between.

"RAT" is, in my opinion, the masterpiece of Priscilla Shuler. Calling it a historical fiction adventure is underrating one of the most riveting plots I've read, which contains a little bit for everyone: adventure, romance, mysticism, and even a little humor. The author's talent for description added to a vast array of interesting characters make for a must-read that young readers will enjoy as much as not-so-young ones.
