Janet and Jake Tashijan, the author and illustrator team behind the My Life series, deliver a hilarious sequel to the illustrated chapter book Einstein the Class Hamster.
We follow Ms. Moreno's class as they face off against the students of Crackerjack Elementary on the hit game show Kids Know Stuff. But when Principal Decker sneaks Twinkles the python into the studio, there's widespread panic; the show's host is afraid of snakes and walks off the set. Now is Einstein's chance to shine! With the assistance of a sound engineer who can also hear Einstein, Ned and Marlon help Einstein get ready to host the show and save the day. But something goes wrong. Does Einstein have... STAGE FRIGHT? Oh no! Ned and Marlon must find a way to help Einstein and win the game show in Einstein the Class Hamster and the Very Real Game Show.
“Jake Tashjian's manic, kid-scrawled spot illustrations have an energy that matches Einstein's, and there's an abundance of humor (generally goofy or gross-out) in both his artwork and in Janet Tashjian's writing.” ―Publishers Weekly
“A kinder, gentler Wimpy Kid with all the fun and more plot.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on 'My Life as a Book'

Janet Tashjian has written books for middle grade and young adult readers. She loves doing school visits around the country and talking to students about reading, cartoons, and how important it is to have chocolate around when you're revising. Her son, Jake Tashjian, has illustrated four of her books for kids. Einstein the Class Hamster is based on a comic strip he created in the sixth grade. He's an avid surfer; Janet is an avid coffee drinker. They live in Los Angeles.
“Cute, pop-eyed cartoon illustrations add to the book's sense of silliness . . . This early chapter book contains an enticing mix of information and fun that is sure to please.” ―Booklist
