A Week of Wednesdays

Iris Fennimore

A hamster escapes its cage every single Wednesday, and the same girl has to catch it again and again, until she starts changing the rules of the loop. Iris Fennimore's gentle novel suits curious kids around eight to eleven who like ordinary mysteries and small acts of bravery. Duncan Winslow reads with the calm patience of a favorite teacher, letting funny moments breathe and quiet realizations land softly. Parents will appreciate how the story quietly explores routines, mindfulness, and finding your own pace without ever feeling like a lesson.
