Wuv Bunnies from Outers Pace - David Elliott & Ehtan Long

Hercules Smith wakes up Saturday morning thinking it is going to be a typically normal Saturday morning. Boy, is he wrong! There's a giant carrot in his backyard. Wait! It's not just a carrot, it's a space ship! As he is investigating this strange object two large rabbits (I mean Wuv Bunnies) come out of the carrot. After some excruciatingly funny jokes they inform Hercules that it is his job to save earth from the Funny Bunnies (not funny ha-ha) and Triple B. They are starting to take over the earth in Hercules very own town. Their evil plan - to turn all children into giant carrots (not adults - they don't have any flavor). Will Hercules be able to do it? Will his very own dog ruin everything?
The text and illustrations are of a simple nature, but complement each other very well. Young kids, especially boys, will get a lot of laughs out of reading Wuv Bunnies from Outers Pace.

Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam. Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into.

As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...
