Rabbit
“I remember it all down to the dust in the air.”
That is, the day Rabbit hopped a fence and upended Aubrey White’s normal, reasonable existence.
Rabbit is a boy in a small town living life exactly as he pleases…and somehow managing to stop bad guys along the way. Be it by biking, dandelion-hunting, or bird-chasing, Rabbit goes on stopping petty criminals, one by one—until he and Aubrey eventually wind up face to face with the person behind all these crimes in their little town.
Following his trail of antics, Aubrey struggles to figure out how Rabbit does it—because it is too crazy to be coincidence. Is it the “luck” Rabbit claims? Or...could there be another explanation?
This is the first book in the Rabbit series

Highlights: Ant piles on fire, Aubrey’s family (so real!), fun descriptions (especially of the weather/outdoors), and an intriguing epilogue. Excited for the next books!!!

So fun. Written in a surprising way. I didn't know what to expect with each chapter. Quite humorous. It had a unique way of grabbing the reader's attention.

What a great yarn!! If I am reading the hints in the epilogue correctly I am keeping my eyes peeled for a second book.

I absolutely loved this book! The characters were well-written and lovable, the stories were fun and gripping, and Higgins’ metaphors, similes, and descriptive language were on point and so funny. For anyone who loved Soup or Encyclopedia Brown, I would one hundred percent recommend this book! Actually, I’d one hundred percent recommend it to anyone with good reading taste! All in all, loved this book and looking forward to the sequels!!!!!

Read this aloud and it was wonderful. Both parent and child loved it. The author is an excellent writer and the metaphors are on point. Can’t wait to read the next in the series!

A super fun read! The author often shows the same zany kind of style as a Wodehouse, especially in character descriptions. Here are some of my favorite specimens:
"I wouldn't say he was a rich snob, but he sort of was a rich snob. He thought, as some might say, that he was hot snot on a silver platter, when in fact he was cold boogers on a paper plate....He is tall, lithe, tan, brown-haired, long-nosed--a clean, proper sort of weasel" (38-39).
"She isn't the loveliest to look at when she is happy; when she is not happy, looking at her is like getting grabbed and pulled around by the ear" (55).
"The bike wheels stuck up in the air, spinning like the devil was after them, and shrieking like they were losing the race" (38).
"'Hey!' he shouted, and it was a very hefty, hearty hey, one that law enforcement around the world should take as a specimen to study" (22).
"He looks as if he could use a hug, but never in a million years would take one" (26).
"I've got...hair that Dad says wants with all its heart to be red, but can't quite cut the mustard" (2).
"Only Heaven knows just how close we came to going to it" (198).
"[H]e had pulled a magician's rabbit and vanished into the hat of the world" (5).
"He un-zippered it, and water spazzed out" (31).

This was delightful. It had me laughing and grinning so much. The characters were all lovable (besides the bad guys) and the adventures and mysteries kept me intrigued and interested, not to mention the writing style being fun and enjoyable to read.
I don't often read fiction that is more geared toward children (middle-grade maybe?), but this could easily be enjoyed by the whole family.
The setting and time period were also so much fun. This book reminded me a little bit of the Homer Price stories by Robert McCloskey though it's been such a long time since I've read those, so I may be wrong on the comparison.
If you love good clean fun adventurous mystery children's books, then this one is for you.

Thoroughly fun. I don’t know why, but this book just feels like summer. It’s very original—I truly never knew where the author was going to go next. But I was laughing the whole time at the fabulous dry wit.

Five stars for creativity and for the variety of similes. (I think there are actually too many similes to the point of distraction, but they were each clever!)
