Reviews
When Ben Jinks announces that he's going to build a rocket for the school science competition, his mega-brainy hamster is more than a little surprised. Stinky realises he will have to do most of the hard work - and be very involved in the launch! But there's a cunning plan afoot to upset their ambitious competition entry. Will Ben and Stinky get their rocket off the ground? This is a very funny story in the fantastic Stinky and Jinks series.
