Summary from Rachel's website
You can’t bring a rabbit camping. That’s what eleven-year-old Drew
Montgomery’s grandparents say when his annoying little sister wants to
bring their pet rabbit, Tiny, along on the trip. And Drew agrees. It's
bad enough that he will miss the release of the coolest video game of
the year while he's stuck in a cramped travel trailer for a week with
his grandparents and sister. But Tiny is certain to cause trouble. Plus
there are bears and eagles in the woods. And what if Tiny gets lost?
But Libby smuggles the rabbit into the trailer anyway. Now Drew’s got
to keep Tiny out of trouble. And that’s not easy to do with Libby
always letting him out of the cage and a pair of rabbit-hating bullies
ready to let their dog chomp him if he gets too close.
Top it off with never-ending rain, bloodthirsty mosquitos, a broken
toilet, stinky outhouses, angry squirrels, terrible food, and an
eye-gougingly boring “schedule of activities.” Drew is about ready to
take the rabbit and hitchhike home before disaster really strikes.
Nayu's thoughts
The first book was hilarious, and somehow this one is even
more so! It's possibly because I knew most of the characters already,
so had an instant connection with them. I felt desperately sorry for
Drew because as the older brother, all the mischief that his little
sister Libby causes does get linked to hime, and he tries to cover up
her mistakes. You can't exactly cover up a giant bunny!
Tiny
the rabbit is not tiny, and causes a lot of hassle for Drew's
grandparents. The disasters were both embarrassing and hilarious, and
I'm sure in a few years Drew would see the funny side. His
grandparents could hardly send Tiny back so when he gets discovered
he's allowed to stay, with many mishaps along the way. I loved Drew
and Libby's relationship which felt like typical older brother and
little sister: Drew may find her annoying but he's very protective of
Libby which is sweet to read.
