This is a book review for Because of the Rabbit by: Cynthia Lord. This story is fiction and is a realistic tale. This is a story about how making friends can be easier than you think it is. The setting is a town and the school in the town. The main characters are Emma, her big brother Owen, her rabbit Lappy, her friend Jack, and her parents. First, Emma is afraid that her friends won’t like her since she was homeschooled until she went to public school for fifth grade. Emma’s dad found a rabbit that was stuck in the fence. Her teacher tells the class they will have a project about two truths and a lie. Jack comes to help and meets the rabbit. On the presentation day, Emma calls a lady who is missing a rabbit and Emma finds out the rabbit is not that lady’s rabbit. Emma gets to keep the rabbit and is happier at public school in fifth grade. I liked this book because it was better than I expected and it has a happy ending because Emma feels braver and thinks she fits in at public school.
