Changes

While most computers have a mouse with which to use them, not all have a guinea pig to be used by. But in this particular house, where Fuzzy and Coco live with their humans, that's the case. They're quite technologically-minded - Fuzzy sings along to the radio while putting all manner of things in the food-blender for their owners. So when he vanishes, off to see his favourite TV chef, it's up to Coco to go online - where she doesn't find any of her worst fears about the truth lessened one bit.

This first book in an intended series sets the characters up well - Fuzzy wants to be a blokey human, Coco looks down on everything with a regal air, and worries about her looks too much. Other guinea pigs turn up too, but there's too little here, so I might give away too much of what takes adults just over an hour to read. I can't discuss the plot too mch, because it's obvious, I can't talk about the style of the characters and their brainy super-cavy ways without repeating it rings too false to give the book any major charm, and I can't mention the pictures because they're horrid, scratchy messes.
