Faber's bestselling hamster series is given a smart new livery, repositioning our favourite as a perennial classic character, sitting alongside the likes of Winnie the Pooh and Wind in Willows.

Dear Friends,When Og the Frog came to live in Room 26, I felt a little jealous.

Still, I tried to be welcoming but I soon discovered that it's HARD-HARD-HARD to make friends with a lumpy, bumpy frog!

Then I found out that my fellow students were having problems with their friends, too.

A.J. and Garth had to deal with a bully named Mean Martin Bean.

Heidi and Gail had a terrible argument, and Miranda-Golden had a new stepsister who wasn't nice at all.

Then there was the Poetry Festival, the magic show and the snowstorm!

How could one small hamster solve all those problems?Luckily, I wrote the whole story in my notebook so you could share my adventures.

Your friend to the end,Humphrey
