The Last Rabbit by Shelley Moore Thomas - ADVISABLE

by Shelley Moore Thomas
, 279 pages. Wendy Lamb Books (Penguin Random House), 2021. $17.

Content: G. 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Hybrasil is a magical island. On it live 4 sisters and a magician. Now the sisters have been enchanted and turned into rabbits - one by one they leave the island to find their destiny, and then they will be able to turn back into girls. The last rabbit - Albie, wishes to visit each of her sisters before she decides, and must face real enemies who threaten her sisters, and internal struggles as she tries to right some wrongs along the way. 

The time period is WWII, not necessarily relevant in the magical world, but helps tie a lot of the story together. Engaging and exciting - practically an epic adventure as Albie finds her sisters in a circus, their family home,  and there's even pirates! Julie Mellan's illustrations are so cute.
