In this, the sixth installment of the Bunnicula series, readers are presented with the latest adventures of Harold, Chester, Howie, Bunnicula, and the Monroe family that lacks some of the charm and enjoyment of the previous releases. Once again, the story is set in motion by Chester's conviction that Bunnicula is a vampirous threat to society. The action is then played out along a somewhat boring 'Bunnicula-misses-his-mommy' plotline. Encounters with characters from Chateau Bow-Wow and an irate skunk help add flavor to the otherwise slow-paced story. Howie's character once again brings needed comic releif with his numerous so-bad-they're-funny puns and also his repeated reference to a young reader thrill series titled 'FleshCrawlers'. Perhaps the most disappointing part of the book to me was the seemingly large change in Chester's character. Normally, the cat is portrayed as a loveable know-it-all whose intellect sometimes outweighs his comman sense. In 'Bunnicula Strikes Again!', Chester is presented as a cold, deceitful, almost unlikeable bad guy who truly desires the end of poor Bunnicula. Perhaps one of the biggest highlights of this book are the wonderful illustrations by Alan Daniel. The 'photo' of Bunnicula and Chester in the last chapter is truly a memorable image. It is obvious that James Howe had good intentions with this book. And to a certain degree, he succeeds in providing his readers with some of the entertainment found in the earlier books. 'Bunnicula Strikes Again!' is not a bad book, only a bit of a step down from earlier editions. At the end of the book readers are given a teaser that Howie may begin to write books of his own. If this is true, hopefully he will use his Uncle Harold's 'Bunnicula' and 'Howliday Inn' as guides, and refrain from using the slow paced action in the latest.Show Less

    After the Monroe family found Bunnicula in the movie theater, and all of the frenzy that came along with him, when they brought him home and things died down, normal is how Harold would describe their home. But just like what happened in the Adventures of Sherlock, Harold soon finds out that anything is subject to change. And tons of changes come his way.

    Bunnicula seems to have lost all of "the sparkle in his eyes" and his energy whenever Toby and Pete take him out of his cage to play. Although oblivious at first, Harold begins to worry that something is wrong with Bunnicula. Could he be sick?

    Chester knows for certain that it has nothing to do with being sick; he is set on Bunnicula acting this way because he wants to cause trouble. Chester saw what Bunnicula had done before... sucking up all of the juices from the vegetables! Of course, Chester doesn't want Bunnicula to strike again, so his infamous plans are put into action.

    On the side, the Monroe family is trying to save the movie theater, where they found Bunnicula, from being torn down, since it's a landmark in Centerville. Ironically, though, the last movie they will be playing is Dracula. Could this possibly have anything to do with why Bunnicula is acting weird?

    It's up to Harold and Howie to crack the case, and to make sure Chester doesn't go too far -- or it just might be the end!

    BUNNICULA STRIKES AGAIN! is a very entertaining sequel to the hit BUNNICULA. Once again, Harold writes and narrates the story, making the tale even more humorous. Fans of the first book will definitely want to sink their teeth into this one, especially if they want to know what Bunnicula and even Chester are up to now.

    One of the sequels to Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery

    This book is the latest book in the Bunnicula Series and is a great read for young children and adults. It is not too long but it is quirky and fun.

    Bunnicula -An awesome read for students

    The Bunnicula Series is great because it puts a spin on the old vampire stories. Bunnicula is great because it deals with a Bunnicula going around drinking the juices out of vegetables and a bunch of other animals and humans trying to find the person or thing responsible for making all the vegetables lose their juices.
