Critics Review
a treacherous journey and quest for survival - one to pick up, time and time again
A treacherous journey and quest for survival - one to pick up, time and time again * The Guardian *
Beautifully evoking the Berkshire countryside in poetic language, it is an exciting, moving and powerful novel. * Book Trust *
Beautifully written with some of the best characterisation you’ll come across in children’s literature, it tells the story of a group of rabbits and their will to survive despite human attempts to do otherwise. Full of adventure, humour, excitement and sadness it will enthral as much now as it did when it was first published * LoveReading4Kids *
