There's a sandwich thief in Mr. Venezi's pet shop. But never fear! The world's fluffiest detective is on the case: Sasspants, PI(G).

By day, Sasspants is your average book-loving, gizmo-inventing guinea pig. By night she solves pet shop mysteries with the help of her sidekick, Hamisher the hamster. Our furry little heroes will stop at nothing to find the sandwich thief! This is the first book in the Guinea PIG, Pet Shop Private Eye series.

"Absolutely adorable drawings, blended with witty dialogue in a way that makes this comic a perfect read for all ages . . . and Owly would like to add that 'little Hamisher and his drawings are equal to awesome.'" —Andy Runton, author of Owly

"Move over Miss Marple, never mind the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, here's the real mistress of the whodunit. She's sharp. And she's furry. This one's a keeper." —Mark Siegel, author of the 5 Worlds series

"[A] humorous mystery. Children who are just beginning to read graphic novels independently will enjoy solving the case with Sasspants." — School Library Journal

"Children can look and guess for themselves about the clues and red herrings the book presents. The humor in the characters' personalities and dialogue makes this a lively and entertaining book." — Publishers Weekly

"Yue's graphic panels, colored by Hi-Fi Design, make the most of the comic potential and extend it with plenty of visual slapstick. Middle graders will close this and ask right away for Detective Pants's next caper." — Kirkus Reviews

"Young readers will appreciate the zaniness of the pet shop and the fun mystery." — Booklist

Stephanie Yue

Hi, I'm Stephanie Yue, and I ride motorbikes and draw things. I grew up in Atlanta, Beijing, and Hong Kong, and studied illustration in New York City. I got my start working in game design and animation studios while publishing my own mini-comics.

I've been working as a freelancer since 2008, taking on everything from comics lettering to sketch cards to coloring to website design. In 2010, I signed on with Barry Goldblatt Literary and I've been illustrating graphic novels, picture books, and chapter books for kids. You may even find my work in issues of SpongeBob Comics!

In my other life, I'm an extended overland scooterist, lifelong martial artist, and itinerant blogger. I like riding two-wheeled things, eating and drinking all the things, and climbing things that probably weren't meant for climbing.
