Part of the Humphrey series
A classroom hamster must clear a student's name without revealing his secret escape skills.
Humphrey, the clever classroom hamster, faces a dilemma when Golden-Miranda is blamed for his escape. With his secret lock-picking skills at risk, he must find a way to clear her name. Meanwhile, Don’t-Complain-Mandy-Payne's family adds to the chaos, and Humphrey juggles helping classmates like Pay-Attention-Art and Sit-Still-Seth. As he navigates these challenges, including a vet visit, Humphrey must decide if revealing his secret is worth saving Miranda. Can he solve the mystery without losing his freedom?
The third book in the beloved and award-winning school hamster series! Humphrey loves to solve problems for his classmates in Room 26, but he never meant to create one! Golden-Miranda, one of his favorite students, gets blamed when Humphrey is caught outside of his cage while she’s in charge. Since no one knows about his lock-that-doesn’t-lock, he can’t exactly squeak up to defend her. Humphrey really has his paws full when Don’t-Complain- Mandy-Payne and her family stir up more big trouble. Humphrey manages to help Pay-Attention-Art and Sit-Still-Seth and even survives a trip to the vet, but can he clear Miranda’s name without giving up his freedom forever? Look for all twelve of Humphrey’s adventures!
