Rats and Bats Duo Award-winning author Pack by Paul Zindel (author)

Flesh-eating rats on the rampage. Bats who are fierce, ancient and hungry for revenge. Nature gets seriously nasty in these grisly horrors from a master of terror! When members of a scientific expedition start to vanish in the Amazon, Jake decides to investigate before his father gets hurt. But what he discovers is frightening almost beyond belief – something high up in the treacherous rainforest canopy, waiting for him. Yet more shocks are in store at Sarah’s seemingly normal suburban house, fatefully located beside a rubbish dump. The rats in the dump are growing – and mutating. And that’s not all: they’re getting a taste for human blood…
