Rats in Space was written for children but I decided to listen to it myself even though I'm super old. I loved it and found a wonderful new vocabulary of Rat words as well. Really creative but also a story of courage, determination and choosing not to give up but to press on towards the goal and not looking behind but towards the finish line... just as it says in the Bible Philippians 3 : 12 - 14 amazing 😇

This story line is brilliant both for children and adults
