Bookroo's summary

Humphrey, the school hamster, returns from holiday to find a new rival in Room 26—Og the frog. As students flock to Og, Humphrey feels sidelined and struggles with jealousy. Despite his mad-bad-sad feelings, Humphrey embarks on weekend adventures with students, determined to solve the friendship puzzle. Can this intrepid hamster find a way to bond with the aloof frog and reclaim his place in the classroom? Discover the challenges and surprises in Humphrey's quest for friendship.

From the publisher

The second book in the beloved and award-winning school hamster series! After the holidays, Humphrey is shocked by a big surprise in Room 26-a new class pet! Humphrey tries to be welcoming, but Og the frog doesn’t respond to any of his friendly squeaks or visits (remember, he has a lock-that-doesn’t-lock). Plus, the students are so interested in Og, they almost stop paying attention to Humphrey altogether. Humphrey doesn’t like the mad-bad-sad feelings he’s had since Og came, but luckily he still gets to have adventures with different kids on the weekends. Friendship can be tricky, but Humphrey is an intrepid problem-solver. If any hamster can become buddies with a frog, he can. Look for all twelve of Humphrey’s adventures!
