Bookroo's summary

Humphrey, the curious classroom hamster, is off to Camp Happy Hollow with his friends from Room 26. While camp promises exciting new experiences, it also brings mysterious challenges, including the ominous Howler. As Humphrey navigates the fur-raising sounds and smells of the wild, he must decide if this adventure is too much for him. Will he conquer his fears or find camp too wild to handle? Join Humphrey on this thrilling journey and discover if he can embrace the unknown.

From the publisher

The sixth book in the beloved and award-winning school hamster series! When Humphrey hears that school is ending, he can’t believe his ears. What’s a classroom hamster to do if there’s no more school? It turns out that Mrs. Brisbane has planned something thrilling for Humphrey and Og the frog: they’re going to Camp Happy Hollow with Ms. Mac and lots of the kids from Room 26! Camp is full of FUN-FUN-FUN new experiences, but it’s also a little scary. There are fur-raising wild sounds and smells, and there’s something called the Howler to watch out for. Humphrey is always curious about new adventures, but could camp be too wild even for him? Look for all twelve of Humphrey’s adventures!
