Sasspants, PI(G), the world's fluffiest detective, is back on the caseor she will be, if her sidekick Hamisher can convince her there's really a mystery afoot. Hamisher has made up so many stories, Sasspants doesn't believe him. But one by one the mice in Mr. Venezi's pet shop are going missing, and all the spooky clues point to...a ghost! Once our shaggy Sherlocks start digging for answers, they will stop at nothing to ferret out the truth!
I don't know which I enjoyed more here, the story or the illustrations. What a fun book! The setting is a pet store. At first, Sasspants is taking a snooze in her cage. Hamisher is frantically trying to wake her up to tell her that all of the other hamsters are missing. Sasspants doesn't believe him because she has heard this all from him before. Of course, this time is no different; Hamisher is just fooling around. Then, a real mystery needs to be solved. Sasspants says she will solve it, if only to prove there is no mystery. In this case, she needs to find the missing mice. Before starting, Sasspants asks Hamister one last time if he is telling the truth. He responds with, "I am! Cross my heart and eyes and legs and arms!" Who wouldn't believe this cute hamster? The characters are wonderful, the illustrations are terrific, and the story is well-suited to the graphic novel format. Both reluctant and avid readers will enjoy this book. The end of the book several pages describe how the mice got through the wall, as well as other interesting facts, such as boy mice are called bucks and baby mice are called kittens. I highly recommend this book. It will become a favorite of anyone who reads it. Book two of the "Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye" series. Reviewer: Kathie M. Josephs

And Then There Were Gnomes (Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye Series #2)
I thought this little graphic novel was funny. This is the second book in the series, I haven't read the first book yet. The satire comments and the story were laced with comical moments that had me laughing out loud as Harnisher, the hamster, tried to get Sassypants, the guinea pig, to put on his detective hat and get back to work.
Harnisher was just plain funny as he tries to light a fire under his friend Sassypants so he'll start being a detective again. Living inside Mr. Venezi's pet shop, Harnisher comes up with some very creative mysteries that Sassypants must solve. He seemed like a great friend and a positive person to be around yet Sassypants was not liking it. Sassypants claims though that he's not a detective but Harnisher is not listening.
When Mr. Venezi's arrives to open the shop wearing shorts, Harnisher starts in. Determining there's something peculiar going on, Harnisher tries to enlist the help of Sassypants. Someone needs to help Mr. V recover the rest of his pants! I thought this was really funny as Harnisher's excitement filled the air.
The pet shop owner has mislabeled all the animals and now the mice are disappearing. A group of children come to the shop to purchase pets for themselves and notice the problem which leads to some interesting conversations. Can someone find the missing mice before they all disappear?
The illustrations in this graphic novel are super cute and there aren't a lot of characters in it. I feel that there's a lot of text to read in this graphic novel yet the text itself is not hard. It's a fun, creative graphic novel that I enjoyed. I put a hold on the next couple books in this series.
