Summary
"For Annie's tenth birthday, her papa gives her a pad of paper, some colored pencils, and the Klimas family secret. It's called the <i>nuodeema burna</i>, or eater of sins. Every time Annie does something wrong, she writes it down and sticks the paper in a hidden hole in the floor of their house. But Annie is quick to discover that her inheritance has a dark side. With each paper fed to the <i>burna</i>, Annie feels less guilty about the mean things she says and does, but weird things start happening: she stops growing, and soon rats seem to be everywhere, even in her dreams. Annie confronts the secret of the <i>burna</i>, but nothing can prepare her for the truth she unearths. Pete Hautman masterfully spins a modern-day fairy tale that explores the emotional and moral responsibility of growing up." --Book jacket
