Attack Of The Fluffy Bunnies

Attack Of The Fluffy Bunnies

Author: Andrea Beaty

What do you get when you cross alien invasion sci-fi, with B-rated horror references, and the witty wordplay of A Series of Unfortunate Events? It's Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies. In a story that mocks everything about summer camp, twins Joules and Kevin Rockman are shipped off to Camp Whatsittooya by their parents, scientists who are eager to attend the International SPAMathon to defend their crowns. The camp is pretty strange to begin with. It's owner is a firm believer in crafting for self-improvement, and even the counselors are slightly off. The group of campers that Joules and Kevin join are quirky too, like the three girls that all speak at the same time. It's shaping up to be a normal, funny, summer camp story. Well, not really. Pretty early on, Camp Whatsittooya is invaded by sugar-crazed aliens that look like giant, fluffy bunnies. Strange things start happening, and the adults become even weirder than usual. Luckily, Joules and Kevin are prepared for this kind event from all of the B-rated horror movies they've been watching. This story is campy and fun with asides to the reader, comics, and even advertisements for products found in the books. At only 184 pages, Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies will entice even the most reluctant middle grade reader, who will never look at bunnies, marshmallows, SPAM, or camp the same way ever again.
