Often mistaken for a rat . . . or, worse yet, a meal, Valentino is a guinea pig trying to find a home where he can live happily ever after. He runs away from his native home in Bolivia as a stowaway and he has many adventures until good fortune lands him in a pet shop. Soon after, he finally meets Maddie—a little girl with a lot of love to share who is hoping for the perfect pet. Who says dreams never do come true or there’s no such thing as a happy ending? Just ask Valentino and Maddie!
