My Review:

Wed Wabbit by Lissa Evans is our book club pick for this month. Judging the book by the cover, I would have thought I wouldn't like it. I'm not much of a fantasy or middle-grade reader. However, I was told it was similar to The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, which I enjoyed.

It was such an ordinary evening, but every detail of it would matter; every detail would become vital.

While I can see a bit of similarity between this story and The Phantom Tollbooth, they are also fairly different. This is a good story in its own right. 

Read for:

🐰time travel

🐰talking animals

🐰Fidge and Graham's character growth

🐰subtle humor

🐰quick read

🐰heartwarming ending

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

You're called Fidge and you're nearly eleven. You've been hurled into a strange world. You have three companions: two are unbelievably weird and the third is your awful cousin Graham.

You have to solve a series of nearly impossible clues.

You need to deal with a cruel dictator and three thousand Wimbley Woos (yes, you read that sentence correctly). And the whole situation - the whole, entire thing - is your fault.

Wed Wabbit is an adventure story about friendship, danger and the terror of never being able to get back home again.
