Emma is starting her first year at public school after being homeschooled through 4th grade. The night before school starts she helps her dad (a game warden) rescue a rabbit, and this friendly rabbit seems to hold the key to good things. Fifth grade proves to be a difficult task--especially making good friends and fitting in--but with the help of her supportive family and the magic of the rabbit, Emma comes to learn the importance of being herself and finding her own place to fit.
This is a pretty straightforward elementary-level novel about making friends and being yourself. I liked that Emma's friend, Jack, is on the Autism Spectrum as we can always use more diversity in that way. The characters were all great, though there's nothing revolutionary happening here. Its a nice book for younger readers. Pet lovers will probably appreciate it a little more.
