Hamster Magic

Another Bluebonnet nominee for 2012. This is a short chapter book (like the length of a Judy Moody) about a young girl, Celia, who discovers a hamster in her basement. She talks to it and is stunned that in can talk back. It offers to grant her one wish, only it's misunderstood and she turns into a giant hamster. In an effort to resolve their problem, her siblings and her go into the magical forest to get help.

This will be part of a series called Magical Mix-Ups, but currently there are not others in the series.  It is written fairly simply and reminds me a little of the style from The Boxcar Children series. It seemed pretty predictable, but would be perfect for the younger side of our Bluebonnet readers.
