Bookroo's summary

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?

From the publisher

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!
