I'm Not Done Yet: the Secret Life of a Hamster Told by

Meet Spartacus.He is a golden Syrian hamster, elite athlete, storage strategist, infrastructure manager, and intelligence officer operating out of a cage in a bedroom. His humans call him Mr. Fluffins. He has assessed this situation, documented it, and moved on.For two years, Spartacus has been training. Every night, without exception, he runs the wheel. He stocks his caches with professional precision. He inspects the tunnel. He files reports on everything: the bearing variance on the left side of the wheel (adapted to), the food delivery schedule (documented across four hundred and sixty mornings), and the two large humans who manage his facility (assessed, rated, and filed under Personnel).He is preparing for a mission.The mission is TBD. It is also imminent. He has noted this in every single report for seven hundred and thirty-one nights and he intends to keep noting it until further notice.I'm Not Done Yet is the story of a hamster who runs faster than necessary, stores more than he needs, prepares for everything, and spends two years discovering what he was actually preparing for. It is a training log, a supply audit, a scouting report, a tunnel inspection record, and a very honest account of what it is like to live in a small place with large, well-meaning humans who occasionally reach in from above without warning.The fifth book in the Life as a Pet series, it stands completely alone. No prior hamster experience required.Funny for children. Funnier for adults. Quietly, unexpectedly true.
