“Madeline has always been the responsible one of the family, so when her parents disappear, she decides that she will have to be the one to find them. Especially since there’s a ransom note written in code, signed by someone named The Enemy and left behind by a carload of (Maddy is quite sure) foxes. Madeline’s investigation takes her from her home on Denam Island to her uncle’s house on Vancouver Island—her uncle the famous code cracker. He turns out not to be too helpful, but, fortunately, she meets Mr. and Mrs, Bunny, two extraordinary rabbits with a new-found taste for detecting. Can Madeline and the Bunnys break the code in time to rescue Flo and Mildred, her hapless parents? Who is the Enemy,and is the whole Rabbit town in danger? And will Madeline get her wish to attend her school’s assembly hosting none other than Prince Charles? This is a rollicking read-aloud chapter book mystery, fun for the whole family. And you’ll never look at a marmot in quite the same way again…”—Kristine, Snow Goose Bookstore, Stanwood. Buy Mr. and Mrs. Bunny – Detectives Extraordinaire! from your local indie.
