I Dear Friends, I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE my job as the classroom hamster of Room 26. But when our teacher, Mrs Brisbane, didnt show up for school, I was unsqueakably worried about what had happened to her. Then a supply teacher, the mysterious Mr E, arrived and everything changed. Class was fun, but were my classmates learning anything? And what had happened to our wonderful teacher?
