The Librarian helps a girl defeat the horrors lurking in the basement of her favorite bookstore.

"Louie the rat likes making useful things out of not-so-useful things. But none of the other rats seem to appreciate his crazy inventions, which often turn out to be not so useful after all. So when Louie notices his fellow rats wearing fancy, colorful hats -- huge hats that don't fit through doorways, heavy hats that are difficult to walk in, ridiculous hats that make it impossible to see -- Louie decides to make hats that are USEFUL. He makes wool hats for warmth, wide-brimmed hats for shade, and hard hats for safety -- and of course he makes them all out of his never-ending supply of not-so-useful things. At first, Louie is sad when the other rats don't seem to care about his useful hats. But a few simple acts of kindness lead to a growth in his hat business and, eventually, he's able to save the day with his most useful hat of all."--Provided by publisher.

Publisher Annotation: Lily Lattuga finally feels settled after moving to a new town and starting the fourth grade at a new school. She gets to live right across the lake from her best friend, Darby, who loves frogs and drawing just as much as Lily does. They even have their own club: the Rizzlerunks. But then things start going wrong: the new boy in class is a liar and a bully, and Darby begins acting strangely-she even breaks the Rizzlerunk pledge of honesty and gets Lily into trouble! And when something bad happens to one of the classroom rats on Lily's watch, Lily finds herself caught in a lie with no clear way out. She realizes a little lie can snowball into a huge one that sucks in every good feeling and hurts others terribly. What's a Rizzlerunk to do? Humorous, heartfelt, and full of illustrations that bring Lily's charmingly candid voice to life, this second book in the Rizzlerunk Club series will resonate with anybody who has ever found it hard to do the right thing.
