Fuzzy and Coco are guinea pigs who live with their kindly owners, Ben and Henrietta Bliss. Coco likes to spend her days pampering herself and listening to harp concertos. Fuzzy is much more down to earth – he is a passionate cook who wants nothing more than to learn to make delicious meals for Ben and Henrietta.

So when Fuzzy spots an ad run by glamorous local chef Scarlet Cleaver stating ‘Guinea Pigs Wanted’, he is enormously excited – what a chance to learn some cooking skills! Coco warns him that the ad is not what he thinks, but he won’t listen; when she’s not looking, he sneaks off to find the restaurant.

And so Coco has to get online to try track Fuzzy down. But when Micespace reveals that guinea pigs from all over town have been taken away in a van by Scarlet Cleaver herself, Coco must set off on a rescue mission to prevent Fuzzy from ending up as main course on The Meat Cleaver’s menu!

A captivatingly funny story that will delight readers age 5+.

It was funny. My favourite character was fuzzy. My favourite part in the book was when Eduardo was nibbling Scarlett cleavers toes.

I think this book was a bit young for me but it was still good and my favourite bit was when the guinea pig was about to be cooked. My little sister loved this book

This was a great fun read and really surprised me. The characters are well written and their motivations are easy to understand and sympathise with even when they are doing the wrong thing. There are themes of information literacy here being explored for a very young audience in a way that doesn't feel educational.

The part that sticks with me the most is a little scene in the book where a character met online turns out to be (spoilers!) a nefarious fox. This made a great opportunity to discuss online safety. The moment isn't overworked but does add to the story and gives way to a daring rescue which is really fun.

I read this to a sensitive six year old who found a couple of the more exciting moments worrying but not enough to be put off. Afterwards, he insisted on reading it himself - his first time reading a proper chapter book which is the highest endorsement I can think of.

All the Guinea Pigs are very silly. I like Fuzzy & Coco.

02 Jan 2020

I thought this book was good to read because I like animals. I would recommend it to anybody that likes guinea pigs. My favourite character was Coco the guinea pig because she likes to pamper herself and keep herself clean!

I would definitely recommend this fiction book because it is a great story.
In this book a Guinea pig called Fuzzy goes missing and his friend Coco has to go and rescue him from a restaurant.

If you have read and enjoyed the other books in the series then you will love this one.

Very funny.

26 Jul 2018

Guinea pigs online is a book of adventure and I really enjoyed it. It is fiction and it is all about guinea pigs Coco, the beautiful, posh one living the luxury, and Fuzzy, the adventurous, messy, and noisy one. A restaurant is opening and the owner of it wants guinea pigs, and Fuzzy goes missing too! Can Coco (with the help of fellow guinea pigs, Terry and Banoffee, along with some others met on the way) rescue him before it is too late and will the owners Ben and Henrietta find out...?

I had to keep reading; how would Cocoa get away from Renard the fox, and would she be able to rescue Fuzzy from the restaurant? This book was really funny and exciting, and I really enjoyed it.
