Hamster Magic

by Lynne Jonell

Celia is the youngest of the Willow children and she's tired of being the smallest. When she discovers the families new pet hamster has wish granting powers, she accidentally wishes to be big, people big, not hamster big. Now the children must band together to visit the Great Hamster in the hope that she can reverse the wish and turn Celia back into a girl before their parents find out. Intended for beginning chapter book readers the large text is easy to read with lovely black and white drawings by Brandon Dorman. Jonell doesn't really explain the hamster's magic but readers will find the sweet and simple plot appealing nonetheless.
