“Sewer Rats” is the name of a secret club that Micky, Jim, and Lisa belong to.  Every Saturday they play paintball games in the storm drainage system. Carter wants to join the secret club, but Lisa doesn’t want him to join. 

Micky and Jim suspect that she is the one causing trouble when Carter is hurt, and they chase her.  She runs away into the drainage system.  A storm is coming and both know that if they don’t get her out, she will drown when the rain water goes into the drain.

This story is full of suspense and there were times I was holding my breath while reading.  Jim is afraid and I can relate to him, because I also am afraid of the water in the drain.

“Sewer Rats” is an exciting book and I will read it again.  Even if I know the story, it is still a book I will read again.
