Winner of the Best Story Blue Peter Book Award 2017.

Chosen by our Guest Editor for October 2023, Jennifer Killick, as one of her must-reads:  This book brilliantly encapsulates everything I love about stories, taking the reader on a journey through every emotion, from fear and sadness to cosy contentment. Excellent world building, and perfect for reading on a winter’s day.

------------------------

'Stories aren’t all about fighting and revenge. You have to have a bit of character development.  Some suspense, some atmosphere’. So says the bard telling the story of rabbit hero Podkin One-Ear, and his tale certainly has all those things.  Podkin is son of the chieftain of the Munbury warren but forced to flee with his baby brother and capable big sister Paz when their home is invaded by the terrifiying Gorm, iron-clad monster rabbits turned evil by greed and enchantment. The story of how their little band grows to start the fight back against the Gorm is full of magic, narrow escapes and heroic deeds.  Written in a very engaging style, regular breaks when the bard discusses the story with his audience both building and easing tension, this is a great bit of storytelling. Readers will hope for more adventures for Podkin and Paz.

For more stories of animals fighting evil see Brian Jacques's Redwall series or Robin Jarvis’s equally thrilling Deptford Mice books.
