De Kenyon is the name DeAnna Knippling publishes her children's books under and Deanna sent out a free copy of this in her newsletter.   Normally i wouldn't bother with some random children's book, but i've enjoyed DeAnna's grown up books and the title of this intrigued me.   When i read the synopsis and found out that it was about squirrels taking over the world, i just had to give it a go.

To begin, if you're a grown up and wanting something grown up to read then move along, this ain't for you.   But if you're like me and occasionally like a bit of silly sci-fi-ish stuff to keep us young at heart then this may be just what you're looking for.   Note: when i say silly i mean good, fun silly, not stupid silly.

Basically, it's about a young boy, Galileo, whose parents are mad scientists who make a replicator that makes guinea pigs out of sewage.   What they don't realise is that it's all part of the squirrels' big bad plan to take over the world by using said guinea pigs to wipe out all the humans -- because, as we all known, squirrels are the most evil creatures on the planet.

I have absolutely no idea if this book is suitable for a child near you, you'll have to read it yourself first: go on, you know you want to.

I would probably aim it at around 10-11 year old but don't quote me on that cause i'm useless at guessing these things.

All in all, i quite enjoyed it, but then i enjoy some good, fun silly now and again. ( )

Funny story of creatures who want to take over the world by using guinea pigs. I laughed out loud as the plan commences with mad scientists who play into the hands of those plotting to take over the world. I loved the names of the characters. Fortunately Galileo Ramirez was around to save us all. At least, I hope he did because there were still a lot of guinea pigs around. Lots of fun to read with your children. ( )

I received this book through LibraryThing's Member Giveaway.

Guinea Pig Apocalypse begins when an experiment performed by Galileo's mad scientist parents goes very wrong. While everyone is trying to control the ever-increasing guinea pig population, Galileo discovers that it is the squirrels who messed up the experiment in an attempt to take over the world! Galileo must fight the squirrels to save Earth from destruction.

I thought this was a really cute book for ages 9-11. It teaches the importance of taking responsibility for your actions and making good choices. I actually enjoyed reading it!

It was a very quick read and is definitely worth looking into. ( )

When an experiment his mad scientist parents goes horribly awry it is up to their son to save the day.
This is a totally charming children's book. Perfect for a bedtime reading session, story Tim at school or for a child to curl up with and read. ( )

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

What happens when you combine sewer sludge and a matter replicator??? A whole lot of guinea pigs. I really this story to my seven year old and when I though "where did she come up with this" that was about the time my son would bust out laughing/chuckling. ( )
