Hello. Welcome to my third book review. Have you ever read any of the According to Humphrey books? Summer According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney is the great book we will be talking about today. So since schools out, Humphrey is going to summer camp with his old teacher, Ms.Mac. At the beginning of the series, Ms.Mac gets him from Pet-O-Rama. Now, he completed his first year as a class room hamster. So he misses his human friends. But then Humphrey sees some of them like Gail, Garth, AJ, Sayeh and Miranda, just to name a few.
In this book, I see alot of character growth. Like in Brad, he was acting like a jerk in the camp parts at the beginning. He was all like "My old camp pretty much a zoo and this is just an animal house" and "Humphrey's just a little hamster." I got angry at him. But then he began making friends with Gail and learned to support his own cabin mates. Also, Sayeh was nervous for the Camp Games because she feels like she is not good enough. But Sayeh ends up doing a good job in certain things, like the nature test. Gail was really missing her best friend Heidi and she was writing letters to her every day. Once, she cried because she missed her so much. Even though I would never do that in 1,000,000 years, I can relate to that. Missing friends over the long course of a summer. Gail soon learns to have fun and like I said, makes friends with Brad. Miranda was always being her lovely, caring and golden self. When the winners of the Camp Games were announced, her team did not win, but she was happy anyway.
Humphrey makes good friends with Goldenrod, and Humphrey has his own adventure. Summer is crazy, and this book proves it. If you love adventure and reading about summer AND reading from an animals point of view, read this book.
