Rhumus is a very intelligent rat. He can read and write and he lives in Rome with his mom and dad. Like all rats, they live under the streets. One day, a big explosion separates Rhumus from his parents and leaves him hard of hearing. How will he ever find his family back now that he can't hear anymore. Will he venture alone into the streets of Rome? Or can his special talent help him to find his parents?
