Description
Escape from Hat tells the epic story of Leek, a particularly lucky rabbit in a particularly unlucky situation. After a fateful magic trick sends Leek tumbling into the land of Hat, the rabbit must find his way through deadly peril back to the boy he is sworn to protect. But the land of Hat belongs to the black cats, whose job it is to spread ill luck to their hapless humans. When Millikin discovers his nemesis, Leek, is wandering through his own backyard, he makes it the top priority of all the cats of Hat to rout out Leek and his companions with the help of their unlucky wits and the terrible destruction of the Dimmer-Dammers. Meanwhile, in the land where there is a sun, the boy Cecil is left without the luck - good or ill - of his unseen companions, Leek and Millikin. On his own journey to retrieve both his rabbit and his luck, Cecil must discover the truth behind the unfortunate magic trick, or face a future without any luck at all. From rickety caravans to sea monsters, the parallel journeys of rabbit and boy are a reminder that love and friendship are the greatest magics of all. From master storyteller and critically acclaimed screenwriter Adam Kline comes a classic story brought brilliantly to life with illustrations from Brian Taylor (creator of Rustboy) that manage to evoke both traditional fantasy and pop art fandom. This is a book to keep and give away, to read curled up in a corner and aloud at bedtime, for children and for the child at heart.
