review 1: Although I understand that this book is written from the point of view of a nine year old I don't believe the content is entirely appropriate for that age. While there is some humor the story largely focused on death. There's nothing wrong with that but this was much more descriptive than I feel comfortable giving at 8-10 year old. The book's age range is 8-12. I wound keep it towards the 11-12s.
review 2: The narrator, Anna, a 9-year-old girl retells the story of how she wanted a hamster, got a hamster, and then the hamster dies. Anna, along with her brother, Tom, and her friend Suzanne, launch an investigation in the "murder" of the hamsters. The story rambles with unrelated stories at times, which perfectly exemplifies how a 9-year-old would tell a story. ... more The story is perfect for 3rd and 4th graders, though there are a few gruesome details about the "murder". Lots of doodle illustrations add to the fun in this story. Anyone who loves fun stories will enjoy this one. less
