Synopsis

The sixth book in the beloved and award-winning school hamster series!

When Humphrey hears that school is ending, he can't believe his ears. What's a classroom hamster to do if there's no more school?

It turns out that Mrs. Brisbane has planned something thrilling for Humphrey and Og the frog: they're going to Camp Happy Hollow with Ms. Mac and lots of the kids from Room 26! Camp is full of FUN-FUN-FUN new experiences, but it's also a little scary. There are fur-raising wild sounds and smells, and there's something called the Howler to watch out for.

Humphrey is always curious about new adventures, but could camp be too wild even for him?

Look for all twelve of Humphrey's adventures!

Reviews

Goodreads review by Sarah on May 25, 2015

Another great story with a favorite character--Humphrey! My son loved it and as he says after all the others we finished, "That was his favorite." I did like this one but it wasn't my favorite - not sure if it didn't contain all the same characters from school (Humphrey goes to summer camp) or what.......more

Goodreads review by Malissa on October 29, 2020

I still don't LOVE the way Humphrey gives people nicknames and I don't think the joke played on the one group of campers was as fun as made out to be, but overall these books are cute and my 7yo loves them. It's a good balance to his Minecraft obsession for sure.......more

Goodreads review by Gwen on June 02, 2020

The whole series is great for elementary school kids. This was our last one and I will miss that little guy Humphrey and also the pleasure of reading them with my own little guy.......more

Quotes

“Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant, and creative.” —Booklist on The World According to Humphrey
 
“Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid appeal.” —School Library Journal on Surprises According to Humphrey
 
“This thoughtful yet upbeat tale lends credence to the notion that actions and intentions can be misinterpreted while pointing out the benefits of looking at a situation from another’s point of view. Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey’s standpoint is mighty satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews on Friendship According to Humphrey
 
“Narrated in Humphrey’s lively voice, the story is characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues, such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning readers will enjoy the caring hamster’s unique perspective on everything from friendship to fire drills.” —Booklist on Surprises According to Humphrey
 
“Humphrey is just as lovable and sweet as he was in Friendship According to Humphrey. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility, and the consequences of actions.” —School Library Journal on Trouble According to Humphrey
