Synopsis

“Another whimsical trip down the rabbit hole.” —Kirkus Reviews

Mission Impossible and James Bond have nothing on this wily bunch of rabbits who are pledged to protect the Queen of England—and the President of the United States—from a dastardly plot in this charming second novel of the Royal Rabbits of London series.

Life is an adventure. Anything in the world is possible—by will and by luck, with a moist carrot, a wet nose, and a slice of mad courage!

Little Shylo Tawny-Tail is proud to call himself one of the Royal Rabbits of London, a secret order who live under Buckingham Palace and fight evil across the world. But high up in London’s famous skyscraper, The Shard, the horrible ratzis are plotting to cause chaos during a visit from the President of the United States. And when the Grand Burrow is attacked and Shylo is kidnapped, it looks as though they might just manage it! Can Shylo escape in time to save the day?

Review:

"tongue-in-cheek fun. . . . Readers need not have read the first book, but they'd be doing themselves a disservice by not starting there. Another whimsical trip down the rabbit hole."--Kirkus Reviews "October 1, 2018 "

Shylo, with his sensitive nose and quick wits, proves that "by will and by luck, with a moist carrot, a wet nose, and a slice of mad courage," anything is possible. Words to live by.--Booklist on book 1, The Royal Rabbits of London "November 1, 2017 "

Shylo wends his way to London and, conquering fears and self-doubt, leads the delightfully eccentric Royal Rabbits on a labyrinthine search for a secret tunnel to foil the rats' paparazzi-style scheme. Composed of whisker-thin lines, newcomer Hindley's scratchy b&w illustrations echo the classic qualities of this polished animal fantasy driven, of all things, by a defense of one's right to privacy in a digital world.--Publisher's Weekly on book 1, The Royal Rabbits of London
