This book is takes place in school and it is about how the students and teachers get caught in a massive hamster hunt thought out the school. The author wrote the book for audiences who like to solve mysteries. The characters in this book show how working together can help solve the problems that they encounter.
I would recommend this book to other students who enjoy an easy reading story that they will not want to put down. I enjoyed reading this book because the characters are funny and I can relate to the school setting.

I do like this series, and have decided to read a bunch of 'em, since my library has them and they are short. I'm reserving the fourth star for the most special ones, but even the three star ones are worthwhile. I just wish that we knew more than six kids.

Anyone who wants to be a primary teacher should read these. First, to make sure they know what they'll be getting into (even a good district with good kids) and second, to learn some tips and tricks (stop math and draw 'advertising' posters to let the school know about the missing hamster).

I got this book from a Little Free Library shelf in my apartment lobby. It was a sweet and delightful read. I enjoyed the little mystery of the hamster going missing and the students working together to find it. Each student has different quirks and personalities, and even within such a short story, the characters have their own little story and growth by the end. There is even a little French sprinkled in.

Sidney is the most annoying person in this story, and usually, that spot is reserved for Mary. He's always so jealous of Harry and ends up ruining things for everyone with his petty little actions.

First, he gets the hamster all wet, and for why? I just kept thinking he was dumb in this whole scenario.

THEN, he leaves the door open and the hamster escapes.

All week the school was on the lookout for this little hamster.

But in the end, Song Lee gets her little friend back and all is well, even though Sidney is still dumb.

I liked this book because I like pets. I also liked this book because I like hamsters and hunts.

I'm not really an animal person, but there's something so lovable about a class pet.

Won a set of these books in a raffle. My almost 7 yr old daughter is reading them but only because I am making her. She is hooked on 3 other series of books and only wants to read those so for her these books are dumb. Oh well. But at least she's reading them.
