Abstract:
The students in Room 26 at Jonas Salk Elementary have lost their pet hamster, Henretta. Henretta disappeared into the school’s heating and air-conditioning ducts. The computer run heating and air-conditioning system is allergic to Henretta and sends the students of Room 26 e-mail clues to help them find Henretta. The school custodian sets out traps, the school Principal hires his brother-in-law to exterminate Henretta and the students of Room 26 and their teacher, Mrs. Mabbit, are doing everything they can to get Henretta back before something bad happens to her.
