A boy, a rat, and an exterminator --
three players in a game of survival.
Christmas vacation is supposed to be a blast. Or so Eric thinks. But with all his friends either sick in bed or out of town, Eric's getting more bored by the hour.
Then he meets Anje Gabrail, exterminator.
Anje's got all the normal stuff an exterminator needs -- roach powders and smoke bombs -- but he also carries some extra equipment: a crossbow and metal-tipped arrows that can penetrate concrete walls and will annihilate any creature with which they come in contact. Anje's number one target? Rats.
To Eric, this guy is creepy but fascinating. So, with nothing better to do, he joins Anje on a mission to destroy the rat living in the basement of his apartment building.
But as Christmas Day draws nearer and the temperature outside keeps dropping, things in the basement go from weird to deadly. And Eric learns how valuable life truly is.
Avi has written over forty-five highly acclaimed books ranging from fantasies to sports stories, from tales of suspense and terror to historical adventure. In 2003 Avi won the Newbery Medal for Crispin.

Secure ship w/track #. Eric's Christmas vacation is not turning out as he expected. With his friends away, his parents working extra hours, and the city penned in by a blizzard, boring is the only way to describe it. But when he opens his apartment door to an exterminator, all his boredom gets blown away. Anje Gabriel, a pale-haired, black-jacketed, ex-military man, is an exterminator extraordinaire. Armed with smoke bombs and roach powders, he also carries a special weapon -- a crossbow with metal-tipped arrows that will annihilate any creature in their path. Anje's number one target? Rats. Eric is at first enticed by Anje into engaging in a war against a rat that has taken refuge in his building's basement. But as he grows to see the rat as a living thing and not just a faceless enemy, he wages a greater war to save the rat -- and himself. Set against the glowing backdrop of Christmas imaginings, this spooky, suspenseful tale will hold readers captive from beginning to end. N° de réf. du vendeur 16156
