SOLVED. Middle Grade Book About Kid Who Learns He's a Fire Mage - Talking Rabbit Also. [s]

[Christina]

This book must have come out fairly recently; I got it at the library and I was fairly bored by it and didn't finish, but my nephew wants to know what it is.

It's about a kid in middle or elementary school who learns that he's a fire mage. He lives with his mom, who is a little "off", and his stepdad, and he meets a talking jackrabbit who is a fire jackrabbit-- like perpetually on fire. His fire is sparked by his emotions. His stepdad might be evil. There are a lot of elementals and things in the forest. There's some kind of evil hidden in the ground underneath his state capitol. Help?

Magic, Madness, and Mischief by Kelly McCullough seems to match your description.

One Goodreads reviewer says, "Then Kalvan accidentally electrocutes himself and unknowingly summons a talking rabbit made of fire. This fire hare refers to Kalvan as a “child of fire”..."
