Trouble According to Humphrey

Humphrey usually helps solve problems, but now he's caused a big one: Golden-Miranda gets in trouble when Humphrey is caught outside of his cage on her watch. No one knows about his lock-that-doesn't-lock and he can't exactly squeak up on her behalf. While Humphrey manages to show Pay-Attention-Art that math is important outside of class, help Sit-Still-Seth actually sit still, and survive a trip to the vet, can he clear Miranda's name without giving up his freedom forever?

Friendship According to Humphrey received a Christopher Award and kids voted The World According to Humphrey the winner of state book awards in RI, MD and PA. Plus, it's nominated for eleven others so far (WA, MN, FL, LA, OK, SC, PA, NC, UT, IA, ME). Reviewers have called him “delightful,” “irresistible,” “big hearted” and “perky.”

Publishers Weekly

PW called The World According to Humphrey a "breezy, well-crafted first novel." The hamster hero is back for a third adventure as the class pet in Room 26, Trouble According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney, in which he may have to choose between defending Miranda (after Humphrey is caught on the loose on her watch) and losing his privileges (no one is wise to his cage's broken lock).
