When four pet rabbits are abandoned in a city park, a community rallies together to save them in this remarkable true story from award-winning, bestselling author Dashka Slater’s.

No one knows how a bunch of pet rabbits ended up in a San Francisco park—but one thing is clear: they don’t belong. Predators are circling, and if they aren’t rescued soon, the park itself will be overrun. From the moment they’re spotted, the countdown begins.
 
Join a cast of kids hiding out in forts, keen-eyed teenagers surveying the park, rabbit experts setting traps, and scores of neighbors willing to do anything to help as they rally together in pursuit of rabbits.
 
This exceptional true story comes together in a beautifully illustrated package complete with extra material at the back of the book offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the author uncovered the story of a remarkable rabbit rescue.
