A classroom mystery with Humphrey

A visiting dog brings an unexpected change to Room 26, where Humphrey’s classmates are also introduced to other dogs—including a missing pet they want to help locate. The classroom setting connects the mystery to reading, friendship with animals, and children working together to address a problem. Humphrey’s perspective as the class hamster gives the school-and-family story an animal-centered frame, while the title places happiness alongside the book’s broader interest in helping others.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 who enjoy animal-centered fiction.
  • Readers interested in classroom stories, mysteries, and children helping one another.
  • Fans of the Humphrey series.
