Guinea Pig Apocalypse

By DeAnna Knippling

Galileo’s mad-scientist parents have done it again: invented something that got completely out of control. This time, it’s a matter replicator in their basement. And a squirrel army out to get rid of the humans. And lots...and LOTS of Guinea pigs out of sewage. Yuck!

Now it’s up to Galileo and his friend, the giant Guinea pig Max, to stop the pigs from being mind-controlled by the squirrels and taking over the world!

Reviews for Guinea Pig Apocalypse

[sheila1957 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

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.
