Hilarious

Freddy in Peril by Dietlof Reiche is the second book in The Golden Hamster Saga. Trouble begins when Freddy, a golden hamster, posts his life story on the internet. Now an evil scientist is out to get him, and Freddy has to run away to the hard street life to avoid having his living brain dissected. Can two poetic guinea pigs, an old tomcat, and a tribe of sewer rats save Freddy's life? With comical first-person point of view, this book is worth reading. Also, the hilarious black and white illustrations by Joe Cepeda make this book very fun to read. WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO LAUGHING.

Autumn says - Freddy in Peril

Freddy in Peril The book I read was Freddy in Peril. The authors name is Dietlof Reiche. Most of the story takes place in a sewer. Professor Fleischkopk Freddy in Peril is about this hamster named Freddy, two guinea pigs named Enrico and Caruso and a cat named Sir William and there on a mission. Their mission is to get to this girls house named Sophie to tell there owner, Mr. John that this evil scientist named Professor Fleischkopk is out to get Freddy. But some how Professor Fleischkopk found out and knows were Freddy, Enrico, Caruso, and Sir William is headed. To find out the end of this adventurous story read the book it's that simple. Perfect or not I like this story because it is full of adventure and you never know what's going to happen next. For instance, Freddy goes into an old, moldy, smelly cooled sewer. I also like the book Freddy in Peril because it's an animal book, and I love books with animals. This book is fantasy because obviously a hamster can't talk. Do you like rodents? Do you like adventure books? Do you like books with animals? If so just pick this book up from your nearest library, school, borrow it from a friend, or order it even, but pick the book up from your local bookstore or you'll be sorry. Time for something else Another thing that happened in this book is when Sir William fell in love with this pretty, cute cat! When he met her, Sir William annoyed Freddy because he thought her was just an annoying little rodent and wants to impress the girl cat!!!.... Can Freddy get through the time when Sir William annoys him or not? Read the book to find out!!!..... Totally I would totally recommend this book to kids and teachers if they decide to read this book to their class. But most of all, to people who like animals!

As good as the first!

Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book of the Golden Hamster Saga, I, Freddy, I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this book. Freddy In Peril tells of Freddy's adventures when he is kidnapped, because an evil scientist wants to perform experiments on him. This book was greatly entertaining, and I had a difficult time putting it down.

Freddy in Peril

Freddy in Peril is a exciting fiction book by Dietlof Reiche. This humorous and enjoyable book was published by Scholastic. Freddy is a strange hamster that can write and type. He lives in a small apartment with humans doing their jobs. There are a few other animals like two other hamsters. Also there is a house cat that is friendly.

Together they try to escape the evil scientist. But will they succeed in this perilous adventure? This book will keep you on the tip of your chair. The author puts the exciting phrases in bold and funny letters. He puts his events in the right spot. His sentences are simple so kids can understand it. He puts voice in spots that will work wonderfully. I recommend this book to 3rd grader to 7th graders. I would give it a 4 star out of a 5 star. If you like books about animals on a treacherous adventure this book is for you!!!

Very Clever!

I think the way Mr. Reiche depicts a hamster's lifestyle is very cute. The bad guy is REALLY a bad guy. The characters are lovable and realistic.
