Mrs. Brisbane is missing! <p/>Humphrey has always investigated things, like why Speak-Up-Sayeh was so quiet and Tall-Paul and Small-Paul didn't get along, but this is a true mystery--Mrs. Brisbane is missing! She just didn't show up in Room 26 one morning and no one told Humphrey why. The class has a substitute teacher, called Mr. E., but he's no Mrs. Brisbane. Humphrey has just learned about Sherlock Holmes, so he vows to be just as SMART-SMART-SMART about collecting clues and following leads to solve the mystery of Mrs. Brisbane (and a few others along the way). <p/>Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant, and creative." --<i>Booklist</i> on <i>The World According to Humphrey</i> <p/>"Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid appeal." --<i>School Library Journal</i> on <i>Surprises According to Humphrey</i> <p/>"This thoughtful yet upbeat tale lends credence to the notion that actions and intentions can be misinterpreted while pointing out the benefits of looking at a situation from another's point of view. Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey's standpoint is mighty satisfying." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> on <i>Friendship According to Humphrey</i> <p/>"Narrated in Humphrey's lively voice, the story is characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues, such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning readers will enjoy the caring hamster's unique perspective on everything from friendship to fire drills." --<i>Booklist</i> on <i>Surprises According to Humphrey</i> <p/>"Humphrey is just as lovable and sweet as he was in <i>Friendship According to Humphrey</i>. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility, and the consequences of actions." --<i>School Library Journal</i> on <i>Trouble According to Humphrey</i> <p/><b><br>Look for all of the books in the series!<br></b><i>The World According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Friendship According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Trouble According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Surprises According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Adventure According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Summer According to Humphrey</i><br><i>School Days According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Mysteries According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Winter According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Secrets According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Imagination According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Spring According to Humphrey</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Betty G.
