“A delightfully fun read that will leave you in stitches!”—Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat

When a bouncy, barky dog and an evil genius guinea pig move into the same house, the laughs are nonstop! Wedgie is so excited, he can’t stop barking. He LOVES having new siblings and friends to protect. He LOVES guinea pigs like Gizmo! He also LOVES treats!

But Gizmo does not want to share his loyal human servant with a rump-sniffing beast! He does not want to live in a pink Barbie Playhouse. Or to be kissed and hugged by the girl human. Gizmo is an evil genius. He wants to take over the world and make all humans feel his wrath. But first he must destroy his archenemy, Wedgie, once and for all!

Dual POV: Read from two hilarious perspectives: Gizmo, an evil genius plotting world domination from his Barbie Playhouse, and Wedgie, the good-boy corgi who thinks the guinea pig is a new friend to protect. Rival Pets: He sees a diabolical archenemy who must be destroyed. The dog sees a squeaky new member of the pack. They’re both wrong… and it’s hilarious. Blended Family Chaos: The pets aren’t the only ones adjusting! This story explores the funny side of bringing two families together, from sharing rooms to sharing a loyal human servant. Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: Perfect for kids ages 8-12 and fans of illustrated chapter books like Stick Dog, this story is packed with silly antics, nonstop action, and two pets who could not be more different.
