Operation Bunny

Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in with the crowd or wonders if there is a more magical world hidden just out of sight. It tells the story of Emily Lime, an orphan living with the unpleasant Dashwood family, who discovers she is actually a talented fairy detective. Alongside a talking cat named Fidget, she must solve the mystery of why local rabbits are being turned into chocolate bunnies. It is a whimsical, fast-paced adventure that validates a child's sense of being different while introducing themes of justice and agency. The tone is delightfully British and absurd, making it perfect for independent readers aged 7 to 10 who appreciate a mix of humor and mystery. It is a wonderful choice for building confidence in children who are transitioning to longer chapter books with complex vocabularies.
