Project Jackalope
Project Jackalope | Emily Ecton
1 post | 1 read
Jeremy's troubles begin when his eccentric neighbor leaves him an "experiment" for safekeeping—a jackalope! This so-called mythological creature looks like a bunny rabbit, but comes with razor-sharp antlers and is purported to be a ruthless killer. When government agents show up at Jeremy's house seeking the jackalope for their own nefarious purposes, Jeremy must find a way to protect the jackalope, and himself. So he reluctantly joins forces with Agatha, his holier-than-thou genius neighbor. Together, with the jackalope (and his weapons-grade antlers) tucked away in a backpack, they have only one chance to save Jack and still get their science fair projects in on time. With her striking sense of humor, Emily Ecton has created a hilarious and suspenseful adventure, complete with a compelling and unforgettable cast of characters.

I love bunnies and, by extension, jackalopes, so I thought this might be a cute read. Wrong. It's not cute, it's not exciting, it's not funny, and the end blatantly cheats to make itself work. Worst of all, the titular jackalope spends 99% of the story zipped up in a backpack (and later a suitcase), and might as well be an envelope full of bearer bonds (or any other macguffin) for all he contributes. I'm going to gift my copy to a child I dislike.
