Bookroo's summary
Spring at Longfellow School means Family Fun Night, and Humphrey the hamster is busy helping with circus activities. Yet, he wonders about his own family. As he reflects on the friendships he's formed, Humphrey discovers that family isn't just about blood ties. Will he find comfort in the bonds he's built, or will the mystery of his origins linger? Join Humphrey as he navigates the joys and challenges of belonging in a world full of surprises and new beginnings.
From the publisher
The twelfth book in the beloved and award-winning school hamster series! Spring has sprung and everyone at Longfellow School, including Ms. Brisbane’s class, are HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY! It also means Family Fun Night is coming up and all the students’ families are involved in making amazing circus activities. Humphrey helps in many ways, but he can’t help but wonder about his own family. He doesn’t know anything about them. But when he thinks about all of the wonderful friends he has made at school and at his friends’ homes, he stops worrying. Just like spring comes with lots of new things that grow and change, Humphrey’s family of classmates and friends will always be growing. And that’s just how he likes it.
