| Moon Rabbit By Oliver Eade |
 |
A delightful and magical journey
for your young readers
Scottish schoolboy, Stevie, befriends pretty Chinese classmate, Maisie,
when some children tease her, and takes her to his riverside camp in
Peebles. When she falls into the river, he rescues her, emerging in
mythological China as White Tiger. With Maisie, or Hua-Mei (‘Pretty
Flower’), he learns he has to accomplish a dangerous mission before
they can get back to Peebles.
He soon discovers success depends on a balance between his courage
and the girl’s charm. They encounter hungry ghosts, a miserable blue
dragon, and many other colourful, mythological Chinese beasts and
characters ... but when they finally meet the mysterious Moon Rabbit,
the one who knows everything, their return to Peebles seems further
away than ever ...
Moon Rabbit, an engaging, beautifully illustrated, Yin Yang fantasy
tale of friendship between two children from different cultures, also
introduces the western child to many aspects of daily life in China.
Oliver Eade is a writer of short stories, novels and drama. He lives
in Scotland and regularly visits his wife’s relatives in China. Moon
Rabbit is his debut children’s novel.
Alma Dowle, the illustrator, has been an art teacher in schools over
many years and is an experienced children’s illustrator.
