Freddy in Peril Book Two in the Golden Hamster Saga

"Freddy in Peril" is the second book in "The Golden Hamster Saga," a charming chapter book series for children aged 7-10, though it can be read aloud to younger listeners. The story follows Freddy Auratus, a golden hamster with the extraordinary ability to read and write using a keyboard, who communicates with his human owner, Mr. John. When an unscrupulous scientist learns of Freddy's unique brain, he plots to "hamster-nap" him for dissection. This sets off a thrilling rescue mission involving Freddy's diverse animal friends: the civilized tomcat Sir William, the boisterous guinea pigs Enrico and Caruso, and a colony of brave sewer rats. The book explores themes of friendship, bravery, teamwork, and the importance of unique talents, all wrapped in a witty and adventurous narrative.
