Publisher's Summary:

Malachi has the most wonderful adopted family in the world. They love him and tell him stories and bring him food. The problem: Malachi is a boa constrictor and his adopted family are a colony of rats. His particular friend is a young rat named Eve, who does her best to steal tasty treats for Malachi from the farm house. However, the treats seem to be making Malachi sick, and he is growing dangerously hungry.

One day, an old enemy comes to visit. She offers a solution to their problem in exchange for a favor. Animals from the neighborhood have been disappearing into a house down the street, and she wants Malachi and Eve to investigate. The local cats say the house is haunted.

The Eve and Malachi series are short chapter books for children and their parents who enjoy creepy stories with a (mostly) happy ending.

Members Reviews:

These are excellent children's books

These are excellent children's books! In this book, Abby takes us on a spooky adventure that teaches a valuable lesson to young readers about working together with your peers to do the right thing in spite of your differences. Bravo!

This one pulls in a nice supernatural element

A lovely 2nd adventure for Malachi and Eve. This one pulls in a nice supernatural element. It's slightly darker than the first one, but just in a ghost story type of way. Would be great for a more mature child, I feel.

A wonderful sequel to Feeding Malachi

This was given an amazon 2014 children's book of the year award for a reason. The continuing story of Eve (a rat) and Malachi (a boa constrictor) who along with Eve's family have now made it to the outside. An unlikely pair of friends team up with an even more unlikely third friend (a cat) to go on a dangerous and harrowing adventure. This is not your typical children's book and that makes it wonderful. I'd consider it a horror story for children. But one that explores unlikely relationships and the battle of good over evil. Whether they are reading it themselves or you are reading it to them this will keep you child engaged and on the edge of their seat from beginning to end, and it will leave them waiting for the next book to come in this wonderful series.

Great read

Malachi (boa constrictor) and Eve (rat) live together in the blackberry bushes with Eve's family. Malachi hasn't eaten in months and he realizes he will have to leave the rats' nest soon to live on his own so he can hunt. Effy (cat) arrives to give Malachi a solution to his food dilemma in exchange for help. He and Eve along with Effy will go to where a ghost kitten appears and try to solve its mystery.

The book is a chapter book with wonderful illustrations that are at the first of each chapter. It's a clever book that is geared for younger readers. I really enjoyed reading it.

Children's horror has never been so cute!

The sequel to "Feeding Malachi" is delightfully creepy, and hooked me just as much as it would a younger reader. The illustrations are beautiful, and complement the story. I read this book first in the Eve and Malachi series, and appreciated its self-contained story. It works as a stand alone, (although why anyone would want to only read the one is a mystery) and is an excellent sequel that carries itself with the same energy and fast pace as the first book.
