Description:

From School Library Journal

Grade 4–7—Harold, the dog, has another humorous and slightly scary story to tell after M. T. Graves, the author of the best-selling "FleshCrawlers" series and Pete's favorite author, comes to visit the family. The analytical and paranoid cat, Chester, is certain that Graves will cause something bad to happen to one of the family pets, just like in his creepy books. The author certainly acts odd and melancholy when he arrives with his beloved pet, Edgar Allan Crow, on his shoulder. The entire family joins in to solve the mystery when Bunnicula the bunny disappears, and the results are so surprising that Howie, the puppy, is inspired to start writing books of his own. Patrick Mulvihill narrates all the human and animal characters in Patrick Howe's tale (S & S, 2006) with wonderfully different voices. Fans of the popular "Bunnicula" series will enjoy this charming and sometimes suspenseful story.—_Teresa Wittmann, Westgate Elementary School, Edmonds, WA_

From Booklist

Pete enters a contest and wins a school visit from his favorite author: mysterious M. T. Graves, who writes the FleshCrawlers series. Staying at the Monroes' house with his pet, Edgar Allan Crow, the eccentric writer has some strange requests and his odd behavior gives rise to misgivings among the household's suspicious dogs and conniving cat. Their determined efforts to save the family's pet rabbit, Bunnicula, from an undetermined threat give rise to this entertaining chapter book's dramatic and comical situations. The full-page, shaded pencil drawings are handsome and suitably quirky. An entertaining addition to the long-running Bunnicula series. Carolyn Phelan
