The Runaway Rabbit is the sixth book in Paula Harrison's sweet Royal Rescues chapter book series, illustrated by Olivia Chin Mueller, about a pet-loving princess who finds and helps animals in trouble―even if it's against the rules!
"A royal palace is no place for pets, Beatrice!" says her father, King George.
But when Princess Bea realizes a small bunny has run away from home, she won’t let royal rules stop her from helping an animal in need.
Paula Harrison is the author of The Rescue Princesses series, The Secret Rescuers series and the Royal Rescues series. She wanted to be a writer from a young age but spent many happy years being a primary school teacher first. She finds inspiration in lots of things from cloud shapes to snippets of conversation. She loves sandy beaches and eating popcorn. She lives with her husband and children in Buckinghamshire, which is nowhere near the sea. Whenever possible, she packs her family into the car and journeys far and wide to find a sandy beach where she can paddle in the waves.
Olivia Chin Mueller grew up in a small town in Connecticut, USA, and now lives in Rhode Island. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design and graduated with a BFA in 2014. When she's not illustrating books like
Mirabel's Missing Valentine (Janet Lawler) and
Royal Sweets (Helen Perelman), Olivia loves playing with her cats, sewing and felting, and collecting cute toys and nail polish.
