E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth's Core!

The Guardians, Book 2

By: William Joyce

Narrated by: Gerard Doyle

Pitch, the Nightmare King, and his Fearlings had been soundly driven back by Nicholas St. North and company in the first Guardians’ adventure. But now Pitch has disappeared completely—and out of sight does NOT make for out of mind. It seems certain that he’s plotting a particularly nefarious revenge, and the Guardians suspect he might have gone underground. But how can they find him there?

Enter E. Aster Bunnymund, the only emissary of the fabled brotherhood of the Pookas—the league of philosophical warrior rabbits of imposing intellect and size. Highly skilled in martial arts (many of which he invented himself), Bunnymund is brilliant, logical, and a tunnel-digger extraordinaire. If the Guardians need paths near the Earth’s core, he’s their Pooka. He’s also armed with magnificent weapons of an oval-sort, and might just be able to help in the quest for the second piece of the Moonclipper.

This second book in The Guardians series is about much more than fixing a few rotten eggs—it brings the Guardians one step closer to defeating Pitch!

the bunny. ohh i love the bunny

anyone who reads this review will probablly find this terribly unhelpful because im only writing this to say that once i figured out the bad guy or the main title character was an easter bunny play on words it reminded me of this cartoon movie of veggie tales where one of the characters is singing about how much he loves the bunny over and over in his deep glutonous greedy just give me all the chocolate kind of voice. as if this dude is an adult that never grew up. anyway i cant really tell you whomeever is taking the time to read this review very much about this book because i didnt like the book. from what i understand the santa clause like chaeacters travel to where ever this bunny character is to seek help in winning a war and i dont know it kind of gets weird and confusing. neither the characters from nicholas st north or the easter bunny are human so there emotions arent very expected or predictable. i can think of a few movies that reminded me of what i think was going on when the bunny man tried to show off that his wokrders in the cave like mines making none other than anything chocolate eggs, but i guess the most relateable one would be the seven dwarves except this bunny man had way more than just 7 dwarves working for him. he was being stubborn and greedy he would not give up his time or his workers to help, but he did eventually show the characters some tunnels and passageways that only he knew to get to where they needed to go to help fight the bad guy. then i think i fell asleep when the actual battle happened. but the bunny man was really weird. i think the book was almost trying to make it like he was god saying he had been around for so long and seen so many things good and bad and didnt trust anyone or anything unless it was chocolate. of course. there was a slight comment i think thrown in there about the world being square or round. i mean did that really need to be in there. this bunny man is so arrogant. he wants to try and take credit for everything if he can. he only agreed to help because one of the st north characters has even a little bit of chocolate in their possession and he of course wanted it so a bargain was struck. now that i think of it this bunny man isnt god he's the devil. ha ha. anyway i cant tell you how it ends because i dont understand either boook and both books wer slow and boring and i fell asleep anyway. id rather rewatch veggie tales movies from my childhood instead.
