Forget the bunny trail. E. Aster Bunnymund is on a warpath. In this second chapter book in Academy Award winner William Joyces The Guardians series, sometimes you have to crack a few eggs.
Pitch, the Nightmare King, and his Fearlings had been soundly driven back by Nicholas St. North and company in the first Guardians adventure. But now Pitch has disappeared completelyand out of sight does NOT make for out of mind. It seems certain that hes plotting a particularly nefarious revenge, and the Guardians suspect he might have gone underground. But how can they find him there
Enter E. Aster Bunnymund, the only emissary of the fabled brotherhood of the Pookasthe league of philosophical warrior rabbits of imposing intellect and size. Highly skilled in martial arts (many of which he invented himself), Bunnymund is brilliant, logical, and a tunnel-digger extraordinaire. If the Guardians need paths near the Earths core, hes their Pooka. Hes also armed with magnificent weapons of an oval-sort, and might just be able to help in the quest for the second piece of the Moonclipper.
This second book in The Guardians series is about much more than fixing a few rotten eggsit brings the Guardians one step closer to defeating Pitch!
"Children will read and reread the story to enjoy all the nuances of this plot-driven fantasy with strong visual imagery. Joyce's fans are sure to welcome his newest offering."
