Bookroo's summary

Humphrey, the curious classroom hamster, faces his biggest mystery yet: Mrs. Brisbane is missing! With a substitute teacher in charge, Humphrey channels his inner Sherlock Holmes to uncover the truth. As he gathers clues, he wonders: Where could Mrs. Brisbane be? Can he solve the mystery before it's too late? Join Humphrey on a thrilling adventure filled with unexpected twists and turns.

From the publisher

EEK-EEK-EEK! Mrs. Brisbane is missing! Humphrey has always investigated things, like why Speak-Up-Sayeh was so quiet and Tall-Paul and Small-Paul didn’t get along, but this is a true mystery–Mrs. Brisbane is missing! She just didn’t show up in Room 26 one morning and no one told Humphrey why. The class has a substitute teacher, called Mr. E., but he’s no Mrs. Brisbane. Humphrey has just learned about Sherlock Holmes, so he vows to be just as SMART-SMART-SMART about collecting clues and following leads to solve the mystery of Mrs. Brisbane (and a few others along the way). Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country.
