Highlight the writer’s use of hyperbole in the passage. As one important being left Bindi's life, another entered it. He certainly wasn't larger than life like her dad had been. In fact, he wasn't very large at all. That's because Candy, as eight-year-old Bindi named her newly acquired companion, was a rat.
