Trickster is a young adult xenofiction novel by Tom Moorhouse, telling the tale of two rat brothers, Gabble and Ash. Ash is reckless and longs to earn his true name, which involves a dangerous raid in search of food. Gabble tags along in order to protect him, and the two venture into enemy territory, unwittingly stirring up tensions between their own clan and those of their neighbours. Can they prevent all-out war, and earn their names in the process? | |
