A Concise summary:
Hugo wants a gerbil but his dad is dead set against the idea. His dad thinks
that it is cruel to keep an animal in a cage and leave the animal alone for hours

at a time. So, Hugo’s dad sets him up a challenge. Experience life like a
gerbil… spends seven hours in his bedroom, all alone and with only three toys
and a small plate of food to keep him company. He thinks it is so easy but

being stuck in a room alone is a lot more difficult than Hugo had imagined and
it isn’t long before boredom sets in and he goes stir-crazy.
