Synopsis

Forget the bunny trail. E. Aster Bunnymund is on a warpath. In this second chapter book in Academy Award winner William Joyce’s 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 completely—and out of sight does NOT make for out of mind. It seems certain that he’s 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 Pookas—the 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 Earth’s core, he’s their Pooka. He’s 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 eggs—it brings the Guardians one step closer to defeating Pitch!

Goodreads review by Trish

This is the second time I'm reading this and I'm once again very smitten with this slightly different look at one of THE figures from almost everybody's childhood: the Easter Bunny! Muhahahahahaha. Actually, E. Aster Bunnymund isn't a bunny - he's a Pooka, a pretty big warrior rabbit. Thus, he is ver......more

Goodreads review by Calista

I enjoyed this story better than the 1st book in the series. Our characters are back for more adventures and saving the world here. Pitch is about to destroy the world, so this must me a fantasy story. The device to end the world is going down to the Earth's core, so it's a bit different. The Easter......more

Goodreads review by Bradley

Reading this for the first time with my girl. We both fell in love with this perhaps a bit more than the first book with Nicholas St. North. Why? Well, for me it was the SF elements that bring the Easter Bunny into the tale against the Nightmare King. For my daughter, it was the special powers of the e......more
