The Great Rabbit Rescue is nearly here!

Not long to wait now! Katie Davies’ second book, The Great Rabbit Rescue, will be bulging from bookshop shelves from next Thursday 2nd September!

We pick up with the characters from The Great Hamster Massacre – Anna, her friend Suzanne, and Anna’s little brother, Tom, now that Joe-down-the-road has moved away to live with his dad. Left in charge of Joe’s rabbit, the girls notice that the animal is sick from missing him so much. Then they hear that Joe has also become ill and are convinced the pair will die if they are not reunited. It’s a race against time to pull off their meanest feat yet… The Great Rabbit Rescue!
