My Hamster is a Genius
Dave Lowe, Mark Chambers
‘My mum had a long history of unusual punishments . . . And now, thanks to the sticky-taping incident, she announced that she was buying me a pet.’
Meet nine-year-old Benjamin Jinks and his grumpy hamster, Jasper Stinkybottom. Benjamin is a very normal boy who hates maths. Stinky is a brilliant hamster, who likes carrots. Together they are an unstoppable team!
But can they overcome the evil scheming of Ben’s maths teacher, Beardy McCreedy?
New talent Dave Lowe’s first adventure is brilliantly brought to life by illustrator Mark Chambers in this hilarious read.

This is my favourite hamster book and it can't be better. I like every moment in the booke xcept when Benjamin Jinks had to was Mr McCreedy's car wearing a T-shirt saying "I'm a cheat". Mr McCreedy is rude, beardy and evil, but I still love the book and I am looking forward to reading it again.

I thought it was interesting because Ben was having a hard time doing his homework and he gets a hamster and he helped ben with his homework. My favourite character is Stinky the hamster because he was a funny hamster. I would not recommend it to someone else because I dont know anyone who likes hamsters. I thought it was factual because Ben wanted Stinky to eat cheese but hamsters don't eat cheese and Stinky said hamsters don't eat cheese.

It was silly having a talking hamster but very funny! I would recommend this to anyone.

I liked it because the hamster was really clever and no other hamster was as clever. Ben Jinks and Stinky were my favourite characters. I liked Ben because he owed the hamster, Stinkybottom. I would recommend this book - YES!
