This book is written from the point of view of four hamsters - Frank, Mabel, George and Elsie. The book starts with the story of Frank who escapes from his cage, just as he had always dreamed of doing. Later chapters go on to describe the other hamsters who live in Frank's neighbourhood of Bright Street - Mabel, George and Elsie. They all start off in cages in various houses where some are contented with their lives whilst others long for freedom and to see the world … Eventually it is revealed that behind a lot of the troubles the hamsters experience there lurks the Black Hamster of Narkiz. Daniel Vining (10) from Wales has written a brilliant review of this book.
