Walker Stories Sadie and Ratz

Literary awards - New South Wales Premier's Literary Award Nominee for Patricia Wrightson Prize (2009).
In a delightful tale crafted by the award-winning Sonya Hartnett, we delve into the mischievous world of siblings, mischief, and the art of taking matters into your own hands.

Meet Sadie and Ratz, which happen to be the imaginative names of Hannah's hands. They may not be actual animals, but they certainly act like untamed creatures, according to Dad. Their antics involve tormenting their little brother, Baby Boy, who Hannah sometimes wishes were a dog. Sadie and Ratz love to pounce on his head and attempt to rub his ears off. However, Baby Boy knows how to turn the tables. When he accidentally spills milk on the carpet, he cleverly points the finger at Sadie and Ratz for pushing him.

But as Baby Boy pushes the boundaries of mischief, Hannah finds herself at a crossroads. She might have to send Sadie and Ratz on an imaginary vacation to prove their innocence. Sonya Hartnett, a multi-award-winning author, brings her unique perspective, subtle humor, and captivating characters to a younger audience, with the charming illustrations of Ann James adding to the story's appeal.
