Mutant Bunny Island

Written by Obert Skye

Narrated by Mark Turetsky

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, 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 what’s wrong. Obviously, evil newts wearing trench coats must have kidnapped Zeke. Now they’re 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 doesn’t seem quite right. A creature this cute shouldn’t exist in nature. Are there truly evil newts on the loose, or something much stranger...and more disturbingly adorable?

Reviews for Mutant Bunny Island

[thatonelibrarian · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Mutant Bunny Island is Obert Skye's (Witherwood Reform School, Leven Thumps) newest title. Those familiar with Skye's work may expect a certain level of darkness, but this is all comedy. Perfect for reluctant readers or those just looking for a fast-paced and ludicrous read, Mutant Bunny Island demonstrates what happens when you eat your vegetables without any regard for the potential consequences. The cover art has great appeal and should help draw readers to the bizarre story. Don't expect much depth with these furry creatures, but 3rd-5th graders will enjoy the absurdity.
