Hamster and Cheese: Book 1

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.

Sasspants is a guinea pig with a penchant for puzzles. She lives in a pet shop in which the animals are smarter than the shopkeeper, who mistakes hamsters for koalas, chinchillas for camels, and hermit crabs for tractors. When the "g" falls off the sign on Sass's cage, Hamisher the koala--that is, hamster--is positive she's a Private Eye. And when there are no mysteries to be solved, Hamisher is happy to create some!

"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
