Ale když se dva kamarádi vydávají na dobrodružnou cestu, která vede přes vodu, učí se novým věcem a poznávají, mimo jiné, hlavně sami sebe, králík Remcík zjišťuje, že dokonalý svět je blíž, než si myslel.

"A year after the Bayview four were cleared of Simon Kelleher's death, a new mystery has cropped up--a game with dangerous consequences that's targeting students at Bayview again. And if the creator isn't found soon, dangerous could prove deadly"--
Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear whose friendship is tested by a very noisy woodpecker ... Ideal for readers moving on from picture books. 'A perfect animal double-act.' (The Times, Book of the Week) 'PEACE AND QUIET,' shouts Rabbit. 'THAT'S ALL I WANT.' Owch. He's hurt his own ears again. What with Bear's snoring, and a BANG!BANG!BANG! noise from up in the tree, Rabbit knows that Something Simply Has To Be Done. But high in the branches, perhaps Bear can show Rabbit how to see the world from a different place ... From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, this is a tale of friendship, wisdom, and how to be REALLY NOISY. 'Rabbit's Bad Habits is a breath of fresh air in children's fiction, a laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of avalanches and snowmen. The sort of story that makes you want to send your children to bed early, so you can read it to them.' Neil Gaiman *Shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the Children's Book of the Year in the Irish Book Awards* Read all the Rabbit and Bear books: 1. Rabbit's Bad Habits 2. The Pest in the Nest 3. Attack of the Snack 4. A Bite in the Night

Terry Ives, a student at a quiet Indiana college, feels the world changing around her and refuses to remain a passive observer. When she learns about a crucial government experiment in Hawkins, she volunteers as a test subject for MKUltra. Unmarked vans, a remote lab in the woods, and mind-altering substances administered by secretive researchers draw her into a web of intrigue that she is determined to unravel. However, within Hawkins National Laboratory, under the watchful eye of Dr. Martin Brenner, lies a conspiracy far beyond her imagination. To confront this threat, Terry must team up with her fellow test subjects, including a mysterious girl known only by a number—008—who possesses unexplainable, superhuman abilities. As tensions rise in the decade, Terry and Brenner engage in a different kind of war, where the human mind becomes the ultimate battlefield.
