Mutant Bunny Island Enjoyable in All Its Goofy Glory
7:23 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
If 10-year-old Perry Owens had his druthers, he'd spend all day every day reading comic books and gorging on junk food. Who needs nature? Or friends? Or an ordinary, mundane life in the real world where nothing exciting ever happens? Perry would rather imagine himself inside Ocean Blasterzoids, his favorite comic series. There's always something thrilling going on there.

I'm not generally a fan of silly tales like Mutant Bunny Island by Obert Skye, so I was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this zany mystery. It's wacky and campy and kooky and, overall, a lot of fun. A quick read with lots of engaging comic book-style illustrations (by Eduardo Vieira), Mutant Bunny Island will appeal to reluctant readers who dig graphic novels and fast-paced, easy-to-read adventure stories. I'm not sure I'll be seeking out more Obert Skye books (although his newest, Wizard for Hire, looks good), but I didn't end up hating this one like I thought I would. In fact, I quite liked it in all its goofy glory.
(Readalikes: Hm, I have no idea. Suggestions?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for some scary scenes
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Mutant Bunny Island from the generous folks at HarperCollins. Thank you!

This one looks just zany and cute enough for me to appreciate, if not love. The author’s name sounds so familiar. I’m going to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by how much I liked this one, too, when I read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI've read the first Leven Thumps and enjoyed it for the most part but not enough to continue the rest of the series. I haven't checked out any of his other books. I wonder if I should?
