The age range given for this book is 8-12, and I'm guessing that it really won't appeal to those in the 11/12 group. Anyone that likes Bruce Hale's Chet Gecko series will enjoy this tale of FLUFFs crash landing near Camp Whatitooya and Joules and Kevin's work to save our planet.

Like 'Captain Underpants' for a slightly older crowd. Or like 'Friday the 13th' for a slightly younger, slightly less bloodthirsty crowd. Light and fluffy, kids will find it exceptionally weird, and they will like it.

Silly little book about bunnies from outer space that invade a summer camp. Luckily for Earth, two of the campers are horror movie experts and use that knowledge to defeat the killer, long eared lagomorpha. Lots of illustrations and slightly warped sense of humour will make this popular with the struggling reader set, but it is not as good as it could have been.

This is a fun book that is written with a mix of comics and standard chapter book format. This is a story about alien bunnies that invade a summer camp and try to brainwash the campers so that their heads are mushy and taste good. Jules and Kevin are two campers that do not get taken by the alien bunnies, so they have to try and save the day. I thought that this book was a fun one to read and I would definitely recommend it to kids who do not like to read that often because it is filled with images and funny jokes throughout the novel. I think that this could also be used in the classroom to teach about different kind of writing styles since this one is written in a unique way. There are multiple perspectives and comics that are written into the book which is why it has such a unique style.

A fun, goofy romp of a kids book about alien mutant bunnies, summer camp, and Spam. Recommended for kids looking for the humor of Captain Underpants but are ready for a slightly longer read. A perfect summer read, with a sequel out now.

Amusing and happy story of a camping trip skewed by the invasion of rude, carniverous alien bunnies, but saved by resourced kids and their cooking skills. Sadly, the adult counselors all die, but some sacrifices must be made!
I hope the kids like it.

This is a pretty silly book about evil fluffy bunnies from another planet who land on Earth to eat humans like candy. It was funny, the pace was pretty uniformly quick, and the setting was familiar enough to be comfortable for readers.
A few things about this book though:
1) Some of the characters - specifically the fluffy bunnies and some of the kids at camp - had distinct names, but I couldn't keep their personalities straight. This might be a reflection of me, and it appears it wasn't necessary to discern between the fluffy bunnies and the campers, so I guess that's fine.
2) A lot of the humor that appears comes from the fact that the author breaks the fourth wall and talks to the reader pretty often. Even when she doesn't, there is definitely a lot of voice in their book, with side comments and parenthetical explanations that occasionally made me giggle. I appreciate that.
3) This is just the kind of book for those avid readers of Wimpy Kid and Big Nate books. Not as many sketches to accompany the writing, but enough different types of writing, like advertisements and lists, to break up the action.
