Benjamin Jinks is a normal boy who hates maths, but dreams of sending his hamster into space. Stinky is a hamster-genius, who has grudgingly accepted Ben’s challenge . . . But can the pair win the science fair prize ahead of their scheming neighbours? Or will their experiment bring them back down to Earth with a bump?

New talent Dave Lowe’s second adventure is brilliantly brought to life by illustrator Mark Chambers in this hilarious read.

I liked that the hamster had to wear half a ping pong ball!

This si the first hamster book I read and it wasn't good at the start because Ben's family wasn't rich but it did have a happy ending. I liked it when Edwards flying saucer exploded at the science fair competition. I didn't like it when Edward sabotaged Bens rocket by putting in too much fuel.

It was brilliant. I love Stinky and thought it was so amazing that he created a rocket that went so far up in to the sky. I did not like Edward and was so happy his flying drone exploded. I can’t wait to read the other ones.

I like hamsters; they are so cute. I love that a hamster knows everything. This book is fictional so my favourite character is Stinky. I would recommend this to all ages from 4-11.
