On his commute to school CJ sees a rat on the New York subway. Nothing special about that until the rat stands up and waves to him. When CJ returns home and notices his back pack move he is very surprised but when the zipper slowly opens and the rat emerges saying, “Do you have any popcorn, I’m starving”, well, you get the picture. This incredibly smart, well educated, street wise rat joins forces with CJ on two important projects, helping those less fortunate and eradicating bullying from CJ’s school.
