Revenge of the Horned Bunnies

Dragonbreath: Revenge of the Horned Bunnies by Ursula Vernon  195 pp.

This is another installment of the series about Danny Dragonbreath, his best friend Wendell the iguana, and Christiana the crested lizard. The three classmates are headed off to Camp Jackalope where Danny has a bad reputation because of the previous summer's "Bottle Rocket Incident." Unfortunately for Danny, his annoying younger cousin Spencer is attending the same camp. When Spencer disappears the others set out to find him and in the process discover a plot to steal the jackalopes (part jackrabbit, part antelope) for their valuable antlers. It's up to the kids to save the jackaolopes and stop the thieves. Even though Danny is the one who always finds himself in some sort of problem, with his friends' help things eventually turn out okay.

This is a fun children's series that includes quirky humor, fun characters and story, and the non-didactic incorporation of science in the stories.
