“The prose – and poetry! – of this book is lyrical and airbourne, a style that creates a sense of flight for the reader.
David’s sensitivity to the animal world, and the manner in which he creates parables, bonds the messages with the mind, an experience too seldom encountered with contemporary literature.”
–Grady Harp, Top Contributor, Children’s Books, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 50 Reviewer
“Though Heaney’s novel calls to mind classic works of children’s literature, the story of a rat facing ennui and grappling with existential questions is refreshing, fun, and wholly original.”
–Booklife Prize Review
“This was easily the best of the Booktasters books I have read so far. Sophisticated writing, elegantly crafted characters and deeply affecting themes, I was entranced by this story.”
Booktaster Reviewer
In the winter of his life, Nathaniel, a fruit rat, is bored, angry and depressed. Even his long-suffering wife, Birgit is becoming impatient with his litany of complaints and ailments. Nathaniel has grown increasingly self-focused possessing little interest in his dull world. His wistful recollections of his younger years he routinely dismisses as idle fantasies that now seem mundane.
Life changes when he encounters an old acquaintance, the eccentric old possum, Mr. Leach who blames Nathaniel’s “wretched state” on his failure to do the work to discover the meaning of his experience. “To discover your own truth, you must engage and extract. Life’s lessons must be extracted, mined, extricated, yanked, torn, and even ripped from your experience” Leach admonishes.
Follow Nathaniel’s journey of discovery as he engages and extracts in this book for readers of all ages who enjoy fantasy, whimsy, and a dash of epistemology for a deep think.

“We can’t all have the same ideas and feel the same way. This book had me thinking about all this and I loved that! If someone wants a book that makes you think but also has a powerful message, then they should check this out. Very well done!”
“From the very beginning I was drawn into this story. I absolutely loved the book! What a great message to pass onto others as well. I don’t want to spoil it too much for those who haven’t read this book yet, but it reminded me to stay true to myself. I also thought the ending to the story was really well done.”
