Great Book

Mandy and James volunteer to watch the class hamster over the summer, but then the hamster disappears. Will Mandy and James find the hamster before anyone else finds out about his disappearance, or will it be too late?

Great Series

My son and I chanced upon the Animal Ark series at his elementary school's book fair. My son is 9 years old and reads above his grade level (4th), but it is hard to find chapter books that interest him. I was thrilled when he chose to read this book practically non-stop instead of spending so much time on the computer. An interesting story that includes appealing animals is perfect for readers his age. We bought 2 other books from this series at the book fair (he didn't stop reading until he finished them too), and I will be ordering many more for Christmas.
