Ninja Bunnies vs the Big Bad Fox is the first in a new junior fiction series.

Meet twins Clover and Sage, the new Ninja Bunnies of Dandelion Wood. They’re recruited after they fight off weasels in the woods, and they’re still learning when Big Bad Fox and the weasels ambush their school picnic. Disaster!

Clover, Sage and the rest of the Ninja Bunnies need to defend Dandelion Wood, but need to make sure nobody shares their secrets! They’re there to help the bunnies and anyone else being threatened. It’s a good vs evil, big vs small story that encapsulates the idea that you don’t need to be big to make a difference or to look after your community or the people you care about. It shows us that anyone can be brave, using bunnies and their natural predators to do so.

This illustrated chapter book series aims to help kids start to read independently. It’s a fun story to follow with lots of laughs along the way. The two-tone black and orange illustrations complement the story, giving it energy and real visual spark.
