Bunny


Book Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be a major motion picture "Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." —Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, The Washington Post The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Rouge "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination. Named a Best Book of 2019 by TIME, Vogue, Electric Literature, and The New York Public Library

This starts a chain of magical events that will change their lives and the lives of those around them forever. When Max and Lily use his magical bark to solve problems, help their friends, and go on crazy adventures, they quickly become the talk of Sunnyville. They do something nice for the first time by saving a dying garden. This sets the tone for the rest of their journey by showing how powerful Max's bark is and how willing they are to use it for good. Every trip they go on, whether it's to fix a flooded garden, look for a lost kitten, or scold a neighborhood bully, makes their ties with each other and the people in the community better.

Light pollution hides the beauty of the sky, but this shows it off. It turns a normal night with stars into an amazing show.

But Max and Lily also learn important things on their trips. They learn that magic can be found in having courage, being kind, and having amazing skills, as well as in how they connect with other people. Helping people in need, meeting problems with courage, and finding happiness in the little things in life are all things that their experience has taught them. Max and Lily think about what they've done together as their adventures come to an end. They understand that the most powerful spell is not Max's bark, but the love and friendship they have given and received.

Sunnyville, a lively and busy town, was getting ready for a new day full of hope and fresh starts. The day in question was when Max, a lively and interested dog, and his family came to town. Max, the dog, was always excited to find out about new things and learn them. He wasn't like other dogs. His loud, lively bark could be heard all over Sunnyville, letting everyone know he was there. Max seems to say, "Hello! I'm here, and I'm ready to meet new people and go on adventures!" Max was excited to check out the neighborhood after he and his family moved into their new home. He felt hopeful and thankful as he went for his first walk around Sunnyville. Because the sun was out and birds were singing, Max was sure that today would be great. Max's desire for excitement quickly brought him to a remarkable person. He ran into Lily, a nice girl with a smile as big as the sun, while he was wandering. She was very good at making friends with everyone she met and had a strong connection with animals. Max knew they'd become friends as soon as he saw Lily. He jumped up and down, waggling his tail happily, and gave her a friendly bark. Max and Lily felt very close as she giggled and patted him. Both of them knew that the other person had become their friend. Max and Lily learned they both liked going on adventures after talking about all the things they had in common. Max and Lily were told about the fields and parks in the Sunnyville area where they could play and go for walks. Max paid close attention, his eyes shining with joy as he thought about all the exciting things they could do together. Max and Lily chose to talk and joke about their way through Sunnyville's famous spots one by one. They thought about how much fun it would be to find hidden passageways, chase butterflies in the field, and maybe even find treasures while they were exploring. They knew that being with each other would bring them endless happiness and new ideas. Because of this, Max's first day in Sunnyville became the start of a wonderful bond. With Lily by his side, Max was ready for any journey. They were both excited about the days ahead because they knew they would make the most of their time together. When Max moved to Sunnyville, it was the start of a new part of his life and the start of a wonderful friendship full of fun, laughs, and new experiences. Page 12 of 24 Chapter 2: What the Magical Bark Found On a beautiful afternoon in the cute town of Sunnyville, something truly amazing happened that will change the lives of two best friends forever. Max, the brave and interested dog, was having a great time with Lily, his best friend. Lily was a sensitive girl who loved animals and being outside. This was not your normal garden. It was a very colorful and bright place, with flowers and plants swaying in the wind. Even though everything was beautiful, one plant looked sad. Its leaves were drooping and dying, making it look like it had given up on reaching the sun. Max saw this sad, dead plant while they were playing. He couldn't just walk by because he was a curious and active dog. He stopped, cocked his head, and barked at it with all the energy he had left in his small dog heart. Not just any bark, but a loud, excited bark that has a clear purpose. Max and Lily both had no idea what would happen next. They saw the plant start to change right in front of their eyes. Its dull colors turned bright green, and its drooping leaves got brighter. The plant changed into something completely different in a matter of seconds. It looked stronger and happier than before. The things Max and Lily had just seen shocked them. They looked at each other and then at the plant to try to figure out what was going on. Is it possible? Was this because of Max's bark? They were excited to try out their new skill and were interested in it. Max hissed at another plant that, like the last one, went from being dry to lush and green. They tried again with a few more plants, but each time the same thing happened. There was no doubt that Max could bark really well. When they found out Max had magical bark, they were thrilled and amazed. This wasn't just any discovery—it could change the course of history. Max had used his magical bark to bring plants back to life in the yard, where Lily and Max made a solemn promise. They said they would use their amazing skills to spread happiness and beauty around the world, make Sunnyville a better place to live, and help other people. The first of many amazing journeys began when Max's magical bark was put to good use. They would work out their problems, help their friends, and find out how much magic, a kind heart, and a fearless spirit could change the world. It was the start of something great for everyone in Sunnyville, not just Max and Lily. Page 13 of 24 Chapter 3: The Lost Puppy. A small, unexpected mystery appeared in the cute village of Sunnyville, where every day brought new adventures. Max and Lily would need to use all of their strength and friendship to figure it out. All over town, people were worried about a lost kitten. This kitten wasn't just any kitten, though. She was a sweetheart who made everyone fall in love with her. When she disappeared, it made Sunnyville's daily schedule a little less full. Max and Lily had to fill the gap by helping to find her. Lily was determined to find the kitten's family because she cared deeply about animals and loved them unconditionally. Max's bark was also very appealing. They were sure that as a team, they could do anything. After that, they set out on their mission, walking around Sunnyville's streets while calling for the kitten and paying close attention to any signs that she might be somewhere. Max quickly picked up a weak, quiet meow coming from the direction of the park. They found a big tree in the middle of the park by following the sound. When they looked up, they saw the lost cat sitting on top of a tall branch. It looked scared and like it didn't know how to get down. She meowed pitifully as her big eyes shone with worry. Max wagged his tail, getting ready t
