She's about to have yet another birthday in a new place without friends. On the eve of turning thirteen, Fred sees something strange in the living room: her mother, dressed for a party, standing in front of an enormous paper lantern--which she steps into and disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFred follows her and finds herself in the Land of Impossibility--a loopily illogical place where time has been outlawed by a mad Rat Queen, along with birthday parties and, most cruelly, peanut butter. Fred meets Downer, a downcast white elephant, and Gogo, a pugnacious mongoose mother of seventeen, who help her in her quest to find her mom. Together they must brave dungeons, Insult Fish, a Know-It-Owl, Fearsome Ferlings, and ultimately the Rat Queen herself--and solve an ageless riddle to escape certain doom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgeously illustrated and reminiscent of \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Tollbooth \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e, Rivka Galchen's \u003ci\u003eRat Rule 79 \u003c\/i\u003eis an instant classic for curious readers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yonder","offers":[{"title":"Rat Rule 79: An Adventure | Rivka Galchen | Paperback | 9781632061027 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1758012","offer_id":49178471104664,"sku":"1758012","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81HP894rccL.jpg?v=1780074628","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/rat-rule-79-an-adventure","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
