A prophecy puts the family pets under suspicion

An intergalactic game show sets the stakes in this humorous adventure: Griff, an 11-year-old with numerous allergies, is told by a talking axolotl named Bob that he alone can save everyone. Bob’s warning about Griff’s pets adds a second mystery to the mission, turning familiar cats and dogs into question marks. The setup combines science-fiction peril with comic pet-centered suspicion, launching the first book in the Game of Pets series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 looking for humorous fiction.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories involving pets and animal characters.
  • Readers interested in comic science-fiction adventures.

Book overview

Mega-bestselling author Aaron Blabey, creator of The Bad Guys, is back!

OK, here's the situation:

Thanks to a diabolical intergalactic game show, we are all cooked.

Luckily, Griff, an 11-year-old kid with innumerable allergies, just got told by a talking axolotl named Bob that Griff is the only one who can save us.

I mean, that's kind of good news, right?

Trouble is, Bob's prophecy comes with a warning: "Watch your back, man...your PETS are not what they seem..."

Prepare to have your mind blown and your cats and dogs under heavy suspicion. It's time to buckle up for an insane, laugh-out-loud new series, 260 million years in the making...
