Summary:
Thornton's shiny new coin has vanished into thin air! All eyes fall on Bunny and Clyde, two bad bunnies at the scene of the crime. They're not bad bunnies. For one thing, Clyde is a chipmunk. For another thing, every time they've tried to be bad, they somehow came out looking as good as gold. Now, when they really are innocent, everyone decides they're guilty? In a tight spot like this, there is only one thing for a declared pair of outlaws to do. "RUN!"

Booklist - 01/01/2026 Having failed at leading a life of crime in their first adventure, Bunny and chipmunk pal Clyde now find themselves fingered for a theft they didn’t commit. After losing a tooth, Thornton (an opossum) is showing off his Tooth Fairy coin when it goes missing. A frantic search only turns up lint, an old French fry, and a heap of suspicion directed at the two wannabe outlaws. Bunny and Clyde book it out of there with Thornton and his friends in hot pursuit. A brief detour to the library arms the maligned pair with Famous Outlaws and Their Hideouts, giving them the information they need for a life on the lam. MacDonald makes the most of the elevated drama that unfolds from a simple misunderstanding transformed by children’s rich imaginations. The non-existent stakes feel high as the friends race around town, their escapades captured in Nash’s fiendishly adorable illustrations. The larger font and wide line spacing will make this a comfortable reading experience for those kicking off their training wheels and lighting out on their own. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
