The halls of Daisy P. Flugelhorn Elementary have been quiet—much too quiet for a hamster like GW. By day he is a classroom pet. By night he puzzles, performs poetry, and keeps an eye on the strange business of the school.
When the school art show is announced, GW discovers that Harriet and her mouse minions may be planning to wreck it. Now GW, Sunflower, and Barry must face another round of mousey trouble before the art show becomes a disaster.
The Great Art Caper blends school adventure, pet comedy, and graphic novel storytelling into a lively chapter book for readers who enjoy clever animals, secret missions, and a little chaos after the classroom lights go out.
