Max thought his biggest problem was getting out of pajamas before noon. That was before his hamster started chatting online with a stranger.
When Max notices weird messages popping up on his computer, he launches an investigation-and the suspect isn't just under his roof. He's in a cage. With a running wheel. And a growing pile of sunflower seed shells.
With help from his emotionally dramatic snail, financially rigid piggy bank, and overly judgmental goldfish, Max uncovers a digital disaster involving secret notes, suspicious usernames, and a raccoon in a pink bow.
Hilarious, fast-paced, and sneakily educational, My Hamster Got Scammed! is a standalone story in the Max Disaster series that explores friendship, trust, and internet safety-with zero lectures and maximum chaos. Perfect for ages 6-11, early chapter readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Bad Guys, and Investigators.
