Night of the Living Cuddle Bunnies: Devin Dexter #1 (1) (Devin and Dexter)
Description
Twelve-year-old Devin Dexter has a problem. His cousin, Tommy, believes their new neighbor, Herb, is a warlock and that he is using his powers to bring toys to life. The hot new Christmas toy, the Cuddle Bunny, starts coming to life, but these bunnies are far from cuddly and are actually dangerous. Devin and Tommy set out to prove Herb is a warlock and to stop the mob of bunnies before the whole town of Gravesend is overrun by these cute but monstrous creatures. A funny and slightly scary book for kids, similar to the My Teacher books or Goosebumps series.
