Extremely funny kids chapter book - enjoyable for both kids and adults.
"'Copy that' was my new favorite way of saying 'okay,' replacing, 'Gotcha, chief,' which Dad recently made me stop saying."
'How'd your hamster die?' I asked.
'Natural causes.'
'Like lightning or something?'"

Cute cover that will appeal to kids. The story is kind of an odd blend of magical realism.

This is what I would call a middle grades fluff book. It would have high appeal for kids/young animal lovers but there wasn’t a lot of substance to it.

Anna recommended this to us.
5th-grader Rufus wants a dog, but his anal dad can't stand the idea. So, Mom gets him a guinea pig. Rufus is so disappointed, it takes him a long time to realize this isn't a normal guinea pig. It understands "sit" and "quiet" and "go get help" and even how to eject CD's...
Recommended juvenile book.
some extra bits:
1. The best character isn't Rufus, but his friend Murphie who comes late to school, is nearly failing 5th grade, and who everyone likes (including this reader). Not sure what that says.
2. Slight annoyance with yet another juvenile story where the main character supposedly loves books, but never takes a second to read them (or, in this case, say anything about them).

This was the first novel I read as a kid. It got me into reading. Absolutely loved it. It’s very goofy.

Not my favorite, but my kiddo loved it. A little advanced for her, probably would have been better for a kid seven or over.
