Horn Book Review

In this installment in the classroom hamster's early-chapter-book spinoff series, Humphrey goes home with Room 26 student Garth, who's hosting a treasure hunt over the weekend. When the treasure-hunt prize goes missing, Humphrey plays sleuth. The light and pleasant mystery installment is carried by Humphrey's amiable narrative voice and the generous spot art.
