Meet Samantha- pre-teen; an average girl with an ordinary life. Samantha is not one of the in-crowed and her sanctuary is in books and her own vivid imagination. Through one book in particular, Sam embarks on a journey of discovery with an odd but cute little rat, called Kevin Kilcat, as a guide, who turns out to be the manifest spirit of a deceased brother Sam never knew existed. This spirit guide becomes the friend she always wanted.

When Sam sets out she doesn't know what she's doing, or why. She just knows she's ready for something of change. The world around does not satisfy her. There are a lot of unexplained mysteries for which science has no answers.

Having been introduced to the book of possibilities by Kevin, Sam strides into another reality and another personality, alter -ego, Jennie. They merge and Sam sets forth to discover the truth behind the disappearance of Jennies' mother. Through an encounter with an ancient owl Sam meets the Wild Bunch, the animals chosen to show her the way, and their leader, Fox.

A tale of knights and dragons, fear and death and an insight into the interwoven relationship between good and evil, which will preoccupy Sam for many years to come, it offers childhood keys to grown up mysteries.

A Rat's Tail is the first book of seven in "The Circular Scrolls' series and has been called "The Animals of Farthing Wood in Narnia" and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull flies with Terry Prattchet". An allegorical journey and the many of first of many, A Rat's Tail is a tail, whose threads and clues can be used as a reference through Sam's subsequent travels. A book within a book; a life within a life, it is the first step on a path to discovering that the journey is... the end game. What you perceive depends upon what you seek.
