In Maryrose Wood's stunning middle-grade novel, Alice's Farm, a brave young rabbit must work with her natural predators to save her farmland home and secretly help the farm’s earnest but incompetent new owners.
When a new family moves into Prune Street Farm, Alice and the other cottontails are cautious. The new owners are from the city; the family and their dog are not at all what the rabbits expect, and soon Alice is making new friends and doing things no rabbit has done before. When she overhears a plan by a developer to run the family off and bulldoze the farm, Alice comes up with a plan, helped by the farmer’s son, and other animals, including a majestic bald eagle.
Here is a stunning celebration of life, the bitter and the sweet. Alice is some rabbit—a character readers will love for generations to come.

What reviewers said
A 2021 National Council of Teachers of English Charlotte Huck Recommended Book
"Venturing, as the author readily acknowledges in her afterword, into Charlotte’s Web territory, Wood crafts a tale of interspecies cooperation in a rural setting that is lit up with exhibitions of uncommon courage, loyalty, humor, and tolerance—not to mention extreme cuteness. ... Worthy values aplenty."
"Alice's Farm is a restorative read, tender and wonderful. It's a fantasy, it's real, it's just a joy. And absolutely a book for our times."
“Captivating... A resonant cross-species saga of perseverance, loyalty, and magnanimous friendship.”
"Quirky characters, whimsical adventures...a good read-aloud candidate for fans of Charlotte's Web."
“Like the denizens of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, these characters—animal and human, predator and prey—are lovingly observed. They are a deeply engaging, mostly endearing bunch whose natures may put them at odds but who share a world. . . Stoutly non-speciesist, this is an effervescent delight.”
