Review

This story is about a rabbit named Podkin that is the son of a warrior chief. He is not what you'd expect a warrior's son to be like- he never wants to practice fighting, he doesn't want to go to any classes and well, he is a pretty lazy guy. But when his warren gets attacked by these vicious rabbits called the Gorm, he begins to change. It's either that, or lose his life, his brother's and sister's life and the treasure their dad fought to save. This animal adventure has some great black and white drawings in it that give you a picture of what Podkin is up against when it comes to the Gorm. It also has humor in it, scary parts, and lots of fighting. The story is being told by a rabbit bard. This was a nice touch as it slows down the story just enough and also gives the reader a bit more information about Podkin. For fans of Erin Hunter’s Warriors series, this will be a hit.

Overall Book Score: excellent
