Bookroo's summary

Sam Waters just wants a pet, but his parents aren't convinced he's ready. Determined to prove them wrong, he takes a job at a hamster-only pet store. But when these seemingly innocent creatures transform into terrifying monsters, Sam's simple wish spirals into a desperate battle for survival. Is the strange Insta-Gro animal from HorrorLand to blame? As chaos unfolds, Sam must uncover the truth before it's too late. Can he tame the terror, or will the monsters overrun him? Discover the chilling connection between a boy's dream and his nightmare.

From the publisher

Take a little Horror home with you!Sam Waters desperately wants a pet. Too bad his parents don’t think he’s responsible enough and will barely let him keep the weird Insta-Gro animal from the HorrorLand gift shop. To prove he’s responsible, Sam takes an after-school job in a pet store that sells nothing but hamsters. To his horror, Sam soon finds that cute little hamsters can become very UNCUTE monsters. Suddenly, Sam isn’t fighting for a pet–he’s fighting to survive! Could the HorrorLand souvenir have anything to do with this?
