Runaway Hamster

Jessica Wakefeild lives in Sweet Valley with her twin sister, Elizabeth. They also have a brother named Steven. Sometimes their best friend can't tell them apart. Only their name bracelets can. Jessica didn't like the class pet, but her twin sister does. The class pet was a hamster called Tinkerbell. Jessica was scared of Tinkerbell because it might bite her. Before each weekend, their teacher came in the classroom, took out a box full of names and pull out a name to see who would take care of it. Jessica wishes she won't have to take Tinkerbell home, but Elizabeth wishes she will. Jessica was the chosen one. The next week and weekend Jessica got to keep it. But in the middle of the vacation Jessica lost Tinkerbell when she was feeding her. (Their brother called Jessica and she forgot to close the cage tight.) Then Tinkerbell ran out. What do you think will happen next? I would recommend Run-Away Hamster to 2nd graders or higher. It wouldn't be good for boys beacause I think Sweet Valley kids mostly talks about girls issues. This book reminds me of a boy in my class who brought in a hamster to the class. He wasn't suppose to bring it in but he did. In the end of the day he returned it home. I think the moral of this story is to try to have confidence in yourself, and just try new things sometimes. If it still feels bad, you don't have to do that anymore.

In the previous Sweet Valley Kids book, "Surprise! Surprise!", Elizabeth Wakefield had spent her birthday wish hoping to bring the class hamster, Tinkerbell, home during winter vacation. And, luckily, her wish comes true in "Runaway Hamster".Unlike her twin, Jessica can't stand the "ugly rat". She refuses to help in any way, but her mother insists the hamster is half Jessica's responsibility. Reluctantly, Jessica takes care of the pet, but she is soon distracted by her older brother, and Tinkerbell escapes the unattended cage, quickly vanishing somewhere in the Wakefield's home.As a replacement for Tinkerbell, Elizabeth and Jessica buy another hamster, Thumbelina. But the twins can't help but wonder what happened to their first class pet.This was one of my favorite SVK books growing up because I had a hamster who ran away as well. Unfortunately, I never found her, but at least this book has a happier ending.If you like hamsters (and you're about 5 to 8-years-old), you'll probably like this second book in the Sweet Valley Kids series.

Jessica and Elizabeth are honest. It is hard to look for it because a hamster is small. It was good they could discover a hamster. This book was funny.

Jessica and Elizabeth took care of a cat secret from their mother. I felt they are enjoy it. I am not good at cats but I thought lovely it in this book. This book is easy to understand.

I think it was the best written one yet! It was definatly my favorite! I loved the part when they found the hamster in the cracker box. I bet their Dad sure was surprised!!!
