I wanted to leave a quick message for everyone who has been visiting the website! Thank you for checking in. Feel free to leave a message.
“Guinea Pig Power” showed up on GoodReads sooner than expected and I applied to claim my author page (that site can be tricky), but hopefully there will be a new place to connect with me through social media. I’m also considering X/Twitter in the event TikTok goes down.
As part of a unique partnership with Knowledge Tree Media Group, All Out Media, and Literary Titan, “Guinea Pig Power” reached 399 news outlets across the United States. The article highlights the busy award season the book had and features a flurry of information about the award programs, Ben St. James, and, of course, Fuzwald and Rex – the stars of the book.
I can easily see this becoming some little kid’s favourite bedtime story.

Guinea Pig Power is a very cute, rhyming story about a pair of guinea pigs named Fuzwald and Rex who become crime fighting superheroes every night. The vibe is Pinky and the Brain for preschoolers, and the art style reminds me of Dexter’s Labratory. (The Hannah-Barbera cartoon, not the live action crime show!) It was a lot of fun to read and I can easily see this becoming some little kid’s favourite bedtime story that they demand every single night for a month straight.

Review: Meet Fuzwald and Rex, two pets you could hold. The guinea pigs reminded me of Ren and Stimpy. So cute and funny. By day, they were just regular guinea pigs. But, by night, they were super pigs. Whoa! This is their story of how it all began.
The rhymes were cute and the doodles were even cuter.
If you like how the Ninja Turtles started, you’ll enjoy these super rascals.
“So remember this tale, of our heroes so true, with top secret powers and goals to pursue.”
A nice read!

Guinea Pig Power was reviewed by Reader’s Favorite. You can read what their reviewer had to say below.
Immerse yourself in a tale of superheroes unlike any other with Ben St. James’ Guinea Pig Power. The story follows two cute little guinea pigs, Fuxwald and Rex. These two live blissful lives in their cozy little cage and seem just like other sweet guinea pigs. However, Fuxwald and Rex share a secret. After their mom tucks them in safe and sound each night, the two friends leave their cage, don capes, and venture into the night to do their duty as superheroes. You see, they have superpowers that they acquired after snacking on a special lab-made treat. Now they use those powers to fight crime, rescue kittens from trees, and stop angry squirrels from brawling. Afterward, they return home for a well-earned sleep.
