Super Turbo and the Fire-Breathing Dragon
Can you keep a secret? Yes? Great. We’ll come back to that. At the moment, that sure is one sad hamster who’s moping in his cage. A hamster named Turbo.
Turbo hasn’t eaten since yesterday. He doesn’t even have the energy to jog on his hamster wheel. And while he normally loves keeping a watchful eye on Classroom C—that’s his duty as the official class pet—today he doesn’t even feel like doing that.

That brings us back to the big secret. You see, Turbo the hamster isn’t your ordinary hamster. He’s actually . . .
And he’s a member of . . .
