Synopsis
Sensible Hare is a detective. When Mazy Rabbit knocks on his door with a case - a missing suitcase of carrots - her silky ears and ruby-red eyes persuade him to take it on. But Mazy's case means trouble for Sensible; a bunch of poker-playing villains, led by Uncle Carbuncle, are also after the suitcase. Carbuncle and his cronies Jack Gin, Deaf Louie and Blind Huey pull the hare into a wild adventure of train chases, stakeouts and baddies in disguise. But luckily, Sensible has a clever friend, Ottoman the Otter, and a special weapon - feet as fast as kung fu...
Review
A wonderful book about a hare that runs a detective agency. This present case that author Daren King finds Hare involved with is the 'Case of Missing Carrots'.
Why would anyone mislay a case of carrots - well if you're a rabbit that is what you would take on holiday with you isnt it? Well that's just what Maisy rabbit did and that's how she came to see Sensible Hare the Detective.
Hare has a great friend named Otto the Otterman and they come up against a gang of people who hang around with Carbuncle. They are not very nice! But Sensible Hare is not to be misled by these scoundrels.
This is a great book by Daren King and won the 'Nestle Gold Award' for it. Well done Daren a well written and exciting story for seven and eight year olds to read and enjoy.
