Eric's Christmas becomes a lot less boring
when he meets up with an unusual exterminator named Anje in his family's
apartment complex. In this fast-paced story, Eric agrees to help Anje
hunt down and kill the rat he's seen in the basement. But when Anje
goes after the rat full-force with traditional poisons and traps and
more, Eric isn't so sure he wants to kill the rat anymore. When Eric
lets Anje know his feelings, the exterminator turns on the boy and
the tale takes some intriguing twists.
