Longlisted for the Little Rebels Award 2023 A hilarious book about eco-activism gone *WILD*! Young Percy's parents are environmental activists , and Percy is super OVER IT. He would rather stay home and play Xbox, rather than going to demonstrations every weekend. Meanwhile, his father wants to glue himself to a plastic bag factory, and his mum has invented a machine that messes with DNA and just might bring extinct species back to life . And when the neighbour next door suddenly turns into a talking rat , Percy is roped into a hilarious, madcap adventure in which everyone seems to want to get their hands on the species machine - and Percy comes to appreciate what his parents are fighting for.
