Book Description
Malcolm is in serious trouble. He can't bear to tell Mrs. D. the truth about her Archibald, the smartest hamster ever: "It wasn't like you were telling her someone had stepped on her flowers, and my mother would buy her some new ones. She didn't tickle the flowers, and watch them roll around while she watched the news. And the flowers didn't look at her with those smart-looking darting bright eyes.." There is only one thing for it he figures. He has to duplicate Archibald. But how?
