Surreal and sweet. Almost *L*iterary, as there are gimmicks like not naming any of the characters (except the rabbit) or their location (except, a small town or suburb along a pipeline somewhere between Oklahoma and Detroit). For open-minded readers looking for something different.

Also for youth discussion groups:

Since everything changes all the time, is there such a thing as luck?

Should we live by science, making our choices logically? Or can we make our own luck? Or is everything set by destiny? Is it justifiable to read horoscopes or buy lottery tickets? ( )

Adorable book. A lot of fun. If you like quirky books with people who love animals, you will enjoy this. Realistic fiction with a dose of humor. ( )
