<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When guinea pig Sasspants leaves Mr. Venezi's pet shop to live with Detective Nichols, and hamster-detective Hamisher retires, the case of the missing bookstore cat must be solved without their help.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's a dark and stormy afternoon when Sasspants, PI(G), leaves Mr. Venezi's pet shop to live with a new owner. Soon there's a mystery afoot back at the shop: the cat from the bookstore next door has disappeared. All the pet shop animals are putting on their detective hats, but their fluffy-but-faraway guinea pig detective can't help them follow the clues! Can Hamisher the hamster solve this cat-napping without Sasspants? He's going to try his furry best not only to crack the case, but to reunite with his best friend and fellow sleuth too.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Detective Sasspants returns! But this time, she has competition.</p><p>Guinea pig Sasspants, her faithful, exuberantly enthusiastic sidekick, Hamisher the hamster, and all the denizens of Mr. Venezi's Pets & Stuff are still in the store. Despite assistant salesperson Viola's best efforts, Mr.Venezi still can't get the correct species names on the animals' cages. All the animals are friends, so most are content to stay in the shop. Then (human) Detective Pickles arrives and adopts Sasspants, so when Tummytickles, the bookstore cat next door, vanishes, there's no one to find him. Suddenly, everyone from the goldfish (all named Steve) to the snooty chinchillas are donning detective hats and... well, calling themselves detectives. Will Sasspants return to save the day, or can Hamisher detect on his own? <strong>Venables's fifth Pet Shop Private Eye graphic adventure for the chapter-book crowd is as sly, sarcastic and silly as its predecessors. Yue's expressive, dot-eyed creatures in bright hues and cinematic panels are still perfect at bringing the tales to life and adding an extra dimension of character and humor.</strong> Readers of the previous four titles will get a few more laughs than those new to the series, but this can stand alone.</p><p>Sass and Hamisher hint that they may be getting out of the detecting business given the end...let's hope NOT! <em>(Graphic mystery. 7-11) --Kirkus Reviews</em></p>-- "Journal" (9/1/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>In the fifth volume of the Guinea PIG, Pet Shop Private Eye series, a real detective actually buys Sasspants, which leaves Hamisher the hamster alone without his best friend. Meanwhile, Tummytickles, the bookstore cat, disappears, and all of the animals in the pet store decide to be detectives and solve the mystery. <strong>Young mystery readers will enjoy the story, fans of the series will love the animals' antics and the story's ending, and adults reading to younger kids will enjoy the humor.</strong> Yue's colorful art will draw giggles from young readers when they see all the animals, even the goldfish, donning detective hats. --<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)<br>
