Fenway and Hattie and the Evil Bunny Gang (Fenway and Hattie #2)

by Victoria J Coe (Author)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
The lovable little dog with a GIANT personality is back--battling something that may be worse than squirrels! Life is pretty much a bag of treats when you're an endlessly energetic Jack Russell Terrier. For Fenway, days are filled with important things like defending the Dog Park from wicked squirrels, snuggling with Hattie, and catching up on the neighborhood gossip with the next-door dogs Goldie and Patches. But that all changes the day a fiendish new intruder enters Fenway's turf: he's fluffy, he twitches evilly, and he smells worse than squirrels... He's a bunny. An evil bunny. And Fenway can't fathom why, but Hattie ADORES him. Goldie and Patches warn him that short humans are fickle: sometimes they love a new pet more than an old one. Fenway can't believe his own Hattie would choose another pet over him. But taking matters into his own paws just makes everything worse. Is his heart big enough to accept that Hattie can love another pet too--and is he tough enough to take on an entire gang of evil bunnies? Get a dog's-eye view of the world in this heartwarming, enthusiastic "tail" about two best friends.

Gr 4-6--Enthusiastic Jack Russell terrier Fenway and his favorite human, Hattie, encounter a threat (or friend, depending on who is being asked) in the shape of a bunny, in their second adventure. Hattie is asked to bunnysit for neighbors. Fenway is shocked and appalled that she would take this evil, large-toothed creature into their home. He is especially upset because he has been blamed for ruining the Food Lady's (Hattie's mother) garden. Fenway investigates and finds that an evil group of bunnies are on the loose and getting past all garden fences. As he tries to prevent them from doing their terrible work, he keeps looking guiltier. The misunderstandings pile up, and Fenway's extreme jealousy of the bunny doesn't help matters. The episodes get rather repetitive, although children will likely enjoy Fenway's earnestness. VERDICT An additional purchase. Recommend Spencer Quinn's "Bowser and Birdie" series to kids who want tightly written, funny mysteries featuring a dog and his girl.--B.

Review quotes

"In this second in the series, Fenway's girl, Hattie, is caring for a pet rabbit. Fenway regards Evil Bunny as he does the wild backyard rabbits: it's a dangerous threat."—Kirkus Reviews

"[A]long with amusing pictures of doggy life punctuated with the "bum-sniffing circle dance" and other interactions with fellow canines, Fenway's takes on Hattie's developing relationship with new friends and her progress in learning to take responsibility for her actions provide a rich between-the-lines human plot."—Booklist
Victoria J Coe
Victoria J. Coe grew up in the seaside community of Duxbury, Massachusetts and went on to live in New York and San Francisco, as well as large and small towns on both coasts. During her family's most recent move, she noticed her dog's confusion and started to wonder what was going through his mind. As they walked in Boston's Fenway neighborhood, his reactions to the sights, sounds, and smells of the city took hold of her imagination. While she has written for many publications and nonprofit causes, writing her first novel for children is the realization of a lifelong dream. Victoria now lives with her family on the outskirts of Boston, where she and her dog are always on the lookout for delivery trucks. And squirrels.
