Bookroo's summary
Robert is devastated by the loss of his pet gerbil, Exterminator. His brother Sam's jokes only add to the misery. But when Sam devises a plan to lift Robert's spirits, the brothers find themselves in a bizarre situation. On a stormy night, they confront the unimaginable: a living gerbil that defies death. Is it a prank, or has something truly eerie occurred? As the night unfolds, Robert and Sam must face their fears and uncover the truth behind the night of the living gerbil.
From the publisher
Has Robert’s pet gerbil become one of the undead?When Exterminator dies, Robert is so crushed, he can’t even talk about it. It doesn’t help that his older brother, Sam, keeps telling dead-gerbil jokes. Things get even worse when Sam thinks of a plan to cheer Robert up – and one dark and stormy night, Sam and Robert find themselves right in the middle of . . . the night of the living gerbil!
