A hilarious new illustrated series for kids aged 8+ featuring a group of extremely cashed up guinea pigs and a capybara, from the bestselling authors of Frog Squad!
The world's richest man, Magnus McAloon, has tragically died in a rocket experiment gone wrong.
The sole heirs to his estate are his four beloved pet guinea pigs: Hot Head, Lunk, G-Chip and Big Pig (who is actually a capybara, but don't tell him that).
Not everyone is happy – especially the members of the McAloon family, who are determined to get back the fortune that they feel belongs to them, and not the newly mega rich guinea pigs.
From the bestselling creators of children's books, Kate and Jol Temple.
