Mysteries According to Humphrey Synopsis
Dear Friends,
I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE my job as the classroom hamster of Room 26.
But when our teacher, Mrs Brisbane, didn't 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?
I had my paws full as I gathered clues to solve the mystery and also tried to help my friends deal with their problems.
At last, on Halloween, everything was revealed . . . but in a frightful and delightful way!
Your furry friend,
Humphrey

Betty Birney on Betty Birney:
I wrote my first "book" at age seven. It was called "Teddy Bear in the Woods" and was followed by a sequel. Luckily, my parents encouraged my writing and my sister, Janet, was a great writer and role model.
I didn't just write, however. When I wasn't roller-skating (my favorite pastime), I was riding my bike, playing piano, swimming, reading, playing cards and board games or just hanging out with my friends. I loved school, but I loved vacations, too!
