Description
Publisher: Longacre Press, 2013 | Format: Paperback | Condition: Excellent
When a young author named Felix invents a fantasy world for a children’s book — complete with red-furred rats, floating islands, and power struggles — strange things begin happening in the real world. Felix and the Red Rats is a metafictional tale that bends reality with a sly wink, drawing readers into a story about stories, sibling rivalry, and the strange magic of imagination. James Norcliffe, one of NZ’s most versatile children’s writers, delivers a delightfully weird read that straddles fantasy and realism with ease.
WHY WE STOCK IT: Whimsical, layered, and quietly brilliant. A hidden gem in the NZ fantasy landscape.
