Allen & Unwin Piggy Handsome book English Paperback 208 pages

From the funniest voice in young fiction today, a hilarious new series about a guinea pig for children aged 5+.

'Jeffry, I'm no mere guinea pig! I'm a Handsome. And Handsomes have always been famous. I simply cannot be the only Handsome in history to not be famous.'Piggy Handsome is a very confident Guinea pig with a hugely inflated ego - he hails from a long line of very famous Guinea pigs. But sadly Handsome hasn't yet achieved world renown. With the help of gruff-talking Jeffry the budgie and the inadvertent efforts of two dastardly villains Dan and Dolly Dixon, Handsome might realise his dream, get in the papers and save the day - without even realising. All in one day trip to the seaside!
