This was the first time I have read a book like this. It could be described as a graphic novel for a second or third grader. Sasspants, the guinea pig, and Hamisher, the hamster, solve the mystery of why the mice are disappearing from the pet shop. Entertaining and sometimes pretty funny.

Cute. I like that Sassy wasn't just ready to be a detective after just one case.

Funny and quirky little graphic story for pet lovers:) Isabelle and I both giggled on our first read through. From our quick interaction with her I would say that the author seems to be as sweet (and quirky) as you would expect!

And Then There Were Gnomes by Colleen AF Venable is the second book in the Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series. It and the first one were nominated for a Cybils.

In this volume there appears to be a gnome on the loose. The pet shop owner is too clueless to even know what animals he has. So it's up to the guinea pig with the rabbits to figure out what's going on.

I couldn't get into the series. Maybe the problem was the fact that I started with the second book first. I never got the hang of why the pet shop owner is so clueless. The plot is as disjointed as the pet shop owner.

A bit formulaic but enjoyable.
