Bookroo's summary

Ezra's world shatters when his beloved guinea pig, Ziggy, passes away. His friend Veronica can't bear to see him so heartbroken. The Fix-It Friends rally to lift Ezra's spirits with laughter and fun. But as they discover, grief isn't something to bypass—it's a journey to navigate. Will friendship be enough to help Ezra find his way through the sadness? Join the Fix-It Friends as they tackle loss with humor and heart, proving that sometimes, the best fix is simply being there for each other.

From the publisher

Because losing a loved one is hard.

Ziggy isn’t just a pet guinea pig. He’s a rock star, a friend, and a part of Ezra’s family. So when he dies, Ezra is more upset than Veronica has ever seen him. She can’t just sit back and watch a friend suffer. Something must be done! Laughter is the best medicine, so tons of fun is just what the Fix-It Friends order.

But when nothing seems to shake Ezra’s sadness, the Fix-It crew learns that grief isn’t something to get around, but something to get through. And with good friends by his side, Ezra will do just that.
