Perry races through the tangled underbrush of Bunny Island, heart pounding. He’s hunting for his missing Uncle Zeke, who sent a mysterious, urgent message before vanishing. But when Perry spots a strange bunny unlike any he’s seen before, everything he thought he knew about this island is about to change—what if the real danger isn’t the newts, but something far more unexpected?
