Pets on the Loose! returns with The Great Art Caper by bestselling children's book author and illustrator Victoria Jamieson

Things at Daisy P. Flugelhorn Elementary School have been quiet―too quiet. Cuddly yet calculating class hamster GW spends his days in second grade and his nights poetry slamming and jigsaw puzzling with his friends, Sunflower and Barry. GW has even started warming up to the second-grade students. Could he be making human friends?

When the school art show is announced, GW learns of a dastardly plot―Harriet and her many minions are planning to ruin it! Once again, it's up to GW, Sunflower, and Barry to stop to Harriet's mousey madness.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This gentle graphic adventure's warm and inviting illustrations portray snuggleworthy characters resembling stuffed toys brought to life. The animated and adorable menagerie displays a pleasing blend of silliness and good-natured naughtiness, imparting a kind message of friendship without a hint of saccharinity . . . . This shines bright." ―Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Great Pet Escape:

"Told with a wickedly sharp sense of humor, Jamieson’s latest delivers a madcap adventure that is sure to please young readers." ―Booklist, starred review

"Guaranteed fun." ―Kirkus Reviews

"The pace and humor of this graphic novel hit the ground running (or scurrying) and never relent." ―The Bulletin

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I grew up in Havertown, Pennsylvania, where I wrote and illustrated my first book in the third grade. SUPER COW! was a smash hit both with critics (my teacher) and collectors (my parents).

When I was twelve years old, my family moved to Florida. My parents tried to get me and my two brothers excited about our move by buying us season passes to Disney World. I loved watching the animators at work on the Backstage Tour, and I decided I wanted to work for Disney when I grew up.

I attended the Rhode Island School of Design, but soon found myself drawn back towards illustration instead of animation. After graduation and a slew of ill-fated careers (including a portrait artist on a Carnival Cruise ship and a conductor of illegal tours through the Vatican Museums), I began working as a book designer with a children's book publisher in New York.

I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, son, and surly cat Sharon.

I read this book to my 5th grade students and most of them they enjoyed it a lot!
Some of their comments:
"I give it ten stars!"
"It was pretty good." (This particular student is hard to impress)
"I recommend this book to the whole world!"

I hope the author keeps writing lots of books like this.

You should read this book if you like mystery and adventure and comedy. The villain, Harriet, returns with her minions and Lucinda, and GW, Sunflower, and Barry work together to try and foil her evil plans. A worthy sequel to book 1 that will keep you reading to the last page! We're left wondering who will carry the evil banner now that...well, you'll have to read it yourself to find out what happens to all the characters!

We had been looking for a long time for a series my son would get into. He was 10ish when he discovered them and now at 12 he still goes back to them time and again. I hope they come out with more in the series.
