Oh, Rats!

Phoenix has always been lucky: largest in his litter, most lustrous fur, and most sought-after squirrel in his part of New Jersey.

Which makes his kidnapping by a hawk all the more unlucky.

Luckily, the hawk doesn't have the best grip. Unluckily, he drops Phoenix on a freshly tarred street in downtown Manhattan. Stripped of his gorgeous golden-brown coat, Phoenix now looks like . . . like . . . a common sewer rat! Enormously unlucky!

But his luck changes once again when it isn't sewer rats (a notoriously surly bunch) that find him, but rather Lucy and Beckett, wharf rats living in an abandoned pier on the Hudson River.

Just as Phoenix starts to adjust to city life, however, the rats discover that humans (an unobservant and furless species) plan to tear down the pier and build a tennis complex. Can Phoenix save his new friends' home? Or has his luck finally run out?
