The Eastside Series, Book 1
Picture
​Harrow and Arty are hares and first season Border Patrollers. Their warren is within a large city. 

On a cool winter evening, on patrol, Harrow and Arty discover that humans have built something terrible. A massive fence has been built around the Eastside Warren’s vegetable gardens. Long ago the Eastside Warren claimed these gardens as their own and each summer the hares gather enough food for the upcoming winter. This fence has been built with one purpose…and that purpose is to keep hares out! 

The young patrollers soon find them selves on a dangerous mission. Accompanied by a senior patroller, the three hares are sent to enlist the help of the Big River Beavers who live far to the west, across the inner city. 

This senior patroller, however, has plans of her own. The mission may be doomed before it even has a chance.

​
​"Young’s middle-grade novel chronicles friendship and peril among a group of rabbits.
Harrow and Arty are hares and the newest patrollers for the Eastside Warren. Scrounging for food, they discover a fence has been put around the last available garden—meaning their warren is doomed unless they can find a way to break through it....
The multilayered portrayal of animal society, as well as the beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Popowich that open each chapter, makes this an ideal book to spark conversation between children and adults about the larger world.
An engaging adventure that expertly wraps heavy themes in a simple bunny tale." - Kirkus Reviews

"Creston author, Maureen Young’s first youth novel, Sunny and the Border Patrol, is published and was launched at a book signing in Creston on July 22. Set against the backdrop of Calgary, the action packed tale features the adventures of Harrow and Arty, two young urban hares patrolling their warren. Sunny, a bigger older hare is always bullying them. As the story unfolds we see the transformation of the guilt ridden Sunny as she is forced to protect Harrow and Arty on a secret mission. 
The hares’ perspective on human beings is insightful and humbling. From the animals' view we can see ourselves in a different light. The young hares grow in strength and character as they seek the help of owls, badgers and trees to solve their human problem. 
The youth novel and accompanying colouring book are delightfully illustrated by Calgary artist, Rebecca Popowich."
