The dirt and filth of Scutari Hospital is the perfect home for a Vlad the flea and Loxton the rat. But the arrival of Florence Nightingale and her strange companion changes everything. Will the friends be driven out or can they save the day? This book tells the story of Florence Nightingale, the conditions in which she found herself and the impact she had from a very interesting point of view. Alexis Soyer, one of the first celebrity chefs, puts in an appearance as does Mary Seacole, and we even get to meet Jimmy the tortoise. Vlad, and his host rat Loxton, are not at all sure about the new regime that Florence brings to the hospital they call home. -

Find out about Florence Nightingale through puzzles and games and learn how to people with basic first aid skills.
