Rachel Farmer hopes that when her parents see how well she takes care of the neighbour's guinea-pig, they will let her have one of her own. But then Rachel loses one of the guinea-pig babies.
Quick Summary
Rachel tackles a hairy situation when one of the neighbour's newborn guinea-pig babies goes missing, and she'll need to prove she can be responsible enough to get a pet of her own.
