This is one of those perfect early middle grade novels. Not major drama - no dead parents, no major bullying, no traumatic event. Yes, there are some friend issues and yes there is some conflict but it's gentle, light, and resolved. Some might find it too fluffy but our kids need books like this - an escape.
Emma is about to start attending public school after being home schooled her whole life. The night before her first day her dad, a game warden, and she rescue a bunny. They decide to keep the bunny unless someone claims it. This is good because Emma initially has trouble fitting in - she isn't sure who to be friends with, she worries about hanging around with the quirky boy in her class, and she desperately wants a best friend. To top it off she soon learns that a family recently lost a bunny. Is it her bunny?
This is a first rate, feel good story.
