Description

Obert Skye, author of the bestselling Leven Thumps series,delivers a delightful mixture of offbeat mystery and laugh-out-loud humor in this thoroughly inventive adventure complete with comic-style illustrations, the first in a trilogy.

Ten-year-old Perry Owens has learned everything he needs to know from comic books. So when Perry receives a troubling message from his favorite uncle, Zeke, he knows exactly whats wrong. Obviously, evil newts wearing trench coats must have kidnapped Zeke. Now theyre holding him hostage somewhere on Bunny Island, the remote vacation destination that Zeke calls home.

On his own, Perry travels to Bunny Island, where dozens of bunnies are running wild. One in particular doesnt seem quite right. A creature this cute shouldnt exist in nature. Are there truly evil newts on the loose, or something much stranger...and more disturbingly adorable

Reviews

"The story is always fast-paced and imaginative..." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Kids who enjoy fast-paced books with unlikely, hyperactive heroes, and outlandish adventures will be amused." -- School Library Journal

"Skye douses his surreal caper with nautical one-liners ("It's always darkest before the prawn"), and Vieira adds graphic depictions of Admiral Uli's battles with slimy foes between select chapters. [...] Ink-credible!" -- Booklist
