I, Houdini: The Autobiography of a Self-educated Hamster Banks, Lynne Reid

Meet Houdini, the world's most notorious escape artist – and he happens to be a hamster. This delightfully cheeky autobiography follows our furry narrator as he plots his great escapes from various cages, outwits his human family, and proves that size doesn't limit ambition. Lynne Reid Banks (yes, the brilliant mind behind *The Indian in the Cupboard*) crafts a tale that's part adventure, part comedy, and entirely told from a hamster's hilariously self-important perspective.

Perfect for young readers who love animal stories with attitude, plus adults who appreciate witty children's literature. Houdini's adventures explore themes of freedom, intelligence, and the eternal struggle between pets and their well-meaning humans. This engaging kids' biography proves that the smallest creatures often have the biggest personalities.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure.
