Nayuleska's thoughts
This is the best book yet in the cute guinea
pig series - although I adore bunnies so the next book may beat this one... (Guinea
Pigs Online Bunny Trouble). Fuzzy and co travel further than they've ever
travelled, meeting Eduardo's family who are funny and evil villains who are
both clever and stupid. It gets pretty close but they can't outwit the fast
thinking sprout loving critters who get creative with cotton buds and other
equipment.
Coco is, well, Coco (tries to be posh and aloof) but she both does
and discovers something important which she won't forget about in a hurry
(neither will the human villain!) The explorer guinea pig is extremely funny in
his appearance and his outlook on life. The guinea pigs' owners are pretty
amazing too in their limited (ha!) human way, helping the guinea pigs to relax
in style. This is a fun read to be enjoyed again and again!
