There's a sandwich thief in Mr. Venezi's pet shop. Everyone is a suspect, from the chinchillas to the goldfish. Never fear! The world's fluffiest detective on the case: Sasspants, PI(G). By day, Sasspants is your average book-loving, gizmo-inventing guinea pig. By night she solves pet shop mysteries with the help of her sidekick, Hamisher the hamster. Our furry little heroes will stop at nothing to find the sandwich thief! This is the first book in the Guinea PIG, Pet Shop Private Eye series. "Absolutely adorable drawings, blended with witty dialogue in a way that makes this comic a perfect read for all ages . . . and Owly would like to add that 'little Hamisher and his drawings are equal to awesome.'"—Andy Runton, author of Owly "Move over Miss Marple, never mind the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, here's the real mistress of the whodunit. She's sharp. And she's furry. This one's a keeper."—Mark Siegel, illustrator of To Dance: A Ballerina's Graphic Novel

      This promising new series opens in a pet store where a smart guinea pig named Sasspants spends her time reading the many books she keeps around her. Her smarts—in addition to the fact her cage accidentally says GUINEA PI instead of PIG—gets her tapped as a crime solver. When sandwiches go missing, a hamster becomes convinced the local pet private investigator will be the one to solve the case. While initially against getting involved, Sasspants nevertheless starts an investigation. Children can look and guess for themselves about the clues and red herrings the book presents. The humor in the characters' personalities and dialogue makes this a lively and entertaining book. Ages 7–11.
