# Hamsters Make Terrible Roommates - Hardcover

by **Cheryl Klein** (Author), **Abhi Alwar** (Illustrator)

**Two hamster roommates with wildly different personalities crammed in one cage--what could go wrong in this hilarious story about introverts versus extroverts?**

It's been two hundred and five days since Henry has had peace. That's because it's been two hundred and five days since Marvin has come to live with him. Marvin, who loves to talk in the tunnels, talk while they're eating, talk while they're running. Marvin, who drives Henry up the cage walls. But when Henry _finally_ loses his cool and gets exactly what he wanted, both hamsters have to figure out a way to live together and work through their communication mishaps.
