On a field trip to Central Park, an accidental encounter with a supernatural artifact that looks a lot like a piece of poop turns Riley and his classmates into all kinds of critters. His sister’s a hawk, the school bully’s a raccoon, and Riley? He’s stuck in the body of a New York City rat.

Their once-peaceful morning quickly has turns into survival-of-the-fittest fight with one goal: stay alive long enough to turn themselves back into normal kids. But as it turns, they’re not the only humans-turned-into-animals on the loose in Central Park.…

On their wild chase to untangle the mystery of the magical poop, Riley and friends find themselves in the center of a dangerous Manhattan-wide plot. They must use all their animal abilities to stop the bad guys, find the cure, and get back home without getting eaten. It’s the adventure of a lifetime—because if they fail, these beasties will stay beasts forever.
