Parachuting Hamsters and Andy Russell — David A. Adler

Andy Russell is stirring up trouble in the big city in Parachuting Hamsters and Andy Russell.

Hey! Andy thought. Those hamsters are a mystery. Who threw them out the window?

There was a pad and a pen on the desk. Detective Andy Russell will solve this mystery, Andy said to himself. He wrote Clues on the top sheet of the pad. Then he thought for a moment. Andy remembered how scared the hamsters had been. He remembered them floating down along the side of the building, and he wrote his first clues:

--Lives high up in the building
--Has fancy colored handkerchiefs
--Is good at tying knots . . .

Yes, Andy told himself, Detective Andy Russell is very wise.
