Hot Rod Hamster Monster Truck Mania

Cynthia Lord / Derek Anderson (Illustrator) 
Scholastic / 2014

It's Fair Day, and Fearless Franco's famous Monster Truck Mania has come to town.  Hot Rod Hamster and his friends are geared up for a roaring, soaring great time, so they set out to find the best ride at the fair. The water boats, spinning teacups, and bumper cars are great, but Hamster can't seem to find the best ride. That is, of course, until Fearless Franco needs a last-minute back-up driver for his monster truck. Can Hot Rod Hamster help him out, and still find the best ride of all? In this rollicking new adventure, Hot Rod Hamster proves once again that being small doesn't mean you can't think big!
