ESCAPE FROM HAT

An epic battle between good and bad luck shakes out in this hilarious, highly illustrated middle grade novel about a lucky rabbit who undertakes a perilous journey into the magical other-world of Hat to save the boy he's sworn to protect from the evil of the bad-luck cats, written by award-winning screenwriter and debut author Adam Kline.

We all have good luck and bad, courtesy of our very own lucky rabbits and bad-luck black cats. Most people never notice them. Cecil Bean certainly never noticed his cat, Millikin, or his rabbit, Leek. At least not until Millikin hatches a deliciously evil plan to dispatch Leek into a magician's hat, leaving Cecil defenseless against his bad-luck and completely at his mercy.

Thrown into the sunless, perilous world of Hat, Leek will stop at nothing to get back to his boyeven though no rabbit has ever escaped from Hat before. To return, he must sail across the Great Ink, travel beyond the Jungle Prime Evil, trek through the Grottos of Ill Repute, and enter the heart of all bad luck - the fortress of the black cats itself. Meanwhile, as the rabbits and the cats battle to control his fate, Cecil begins to discover that sometimes in life, when your back is against the wall and the odds seem stacked against you, the only option you have is find a way to make your own luck.
