A delightful children’s book I wish I’d read sooner. It’s like Narnia meets Redwall meets Warriors with rabbits.

I’d like to read the text book eventually, since I probably missed small things while listening. Peter Capaldi was a fantastic narrator though.

I put off reading this book for years and years because I was so intimidated but little did I know it's super easy to read! I was surprisingly compelled by this story and 600+ pages almost flew by.
