<b>Don't miss <i>The Rise of the Guardians</i>, soon to be a major motion picture in theaters November 2012.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Forget the bunny trail. E. Aster Bunnymund is on a warpath. In this second chapter book in William Joyce's The Guardians series, sometimes you have to crack a few eggs.</b><br /> <br /> Pitch, the Nightmare King, and his Fearlings had been soundly driven back by Nicholas St. North and company in the first Guardians' adventure. But now Pitch has disappeared completely-and out of sight does NOT make for out of mind. It seems certain that he's plotting a particularly nefarious revenge, and the Guardians suspect he might have gone underground. But how can they find him there?<br /> <br /> Enter E. Aster Bunnymund, the only emissary of the fabled brotherhood of the Pookas-the league of philosophical warrior rabbits of imposing intellect and size. Highly skilled in martial arts (many of which he invented himself), Bunnymund is brilliant, logical, and a tunnel-digger extraordinaire. If the Guardians need paths near the Earth's core, he's their Pooka. He's also armed with magnificent weapons of an oval-sort, and might just be able to help in the quest for the second piece of the <i>Moonclipper</i>.<br /> <br /> This second book in The Guardians series is about much more than fixing a few rotten eggs-it brings the Guardians one step closer to defeating Pitch!
