Rat Trap / Michael Daley / 212 pages

Jeff lives on a space station with his Mom & Dad who are both scientists.  He has rescued a research rat, been accused of dismantling his robot Nanny, and has befriended an intellectually gifted computer.  Jeff & LB discuss philosophically the meaning of friendship, promise-keeping, and the greater good.  Rat, a lab-generated robot-like rat, is being hunted by the scientist who created him.  Rat saves the space station and realizes that freindship may be at least as important as freedom.
