Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies

If you are looking for a summer read that makes fun of all those really great bad B science fiction movies, than the Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies is for you. Andrea Beaty has created a fun read that mixes in some good science and a lot of humor.

The start of Chapter 2 introduces our villains. "Not long ago, in a galaxy just beyond the Milky Way--but not quite as far as the Peanut Cluster--there lived a race of fierce, large, ugly, and ferocious furballs known as the Fierce, Large, Ugly, and Ferocious. (Fluffs for short--though in reality, there is nothing short about Fluffs). "

Our heroes are introduced shortly thereafter. "The Rockman Twins knew a lot about Famous Last Words. They had heard many of them while watching old movies on the Late, Late, Late Creepy Show for Insomniacs every Saturday night while their parents experimented with new recipes for SPAMalicious desserts."

The Rockman twins are dropped off at camp Whatisitooya on the shores of Lake WhatsoSmelly while their parents head off to a Spam baking festival. Where do the Fluffs crash land? At Camp Whatisitooya of course. And it is up to the Rockmans to save the world without being turned into fluff brain snacks for the Fluffs.

Students who have a good sense of humor, enjoy a little science, and are into movies will all enjoy this book.
