E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth's Core! by William Joyce

4.0

Ombric, Nicholas, and Katherine are on the track to find an ancient relic that will help them in the capturing of Pitch, who has ravished Santoff Claussen and turn all the animals and parents into statues. The children were captured by Pitch and taken to the center of the earth. Pitch has left a ransom for getting the children back, he wants Ombric's library of magical books.
The 3 hero's decided that Ombric must stay behind and release all the statues while Nicholas and Katherine head off to find the next relic guided by the magic sword given to Nicholas. When the get to the relic they find it is an egg and there is an friend that is older than Ombric. E. Aster Bunnymund aka easter bunny. Together they head to save the children and discover that Pitch is creating an army of fearlings that have iron armor that will block out the light and allow them to transverse during the daytime.

What I really like about this second book is how the Easter Bunny and Bookworms are introduced into the fighting against nightmares(Pitch & the fearlings) Any child would like this series and find solace in the everyday tales they have heard from childhood.
