One view held throughout the book that is expressed in ch. WARNING: A story is told of someone who was killed in ch. I didn’t find it overly gripping, but I did enjoy reading it. I could be wrong, though-there’s a lot to love about the loyalty shown in this story and the dedication the rabbits had to trying to help each other. If you don’t like fantasy, don’t read these-and if you’re over the age of 12 or 15, you might not enjoy them as much as younger people would. The sibling love and rivalry was something I could relate to very well, but I enjoyed how they ended up working together.Īs I said, The Green Ember is a different sort of book. I love how much family was appreciated here-as that’s a big part of my life, I guess that stuck out to me more than it might to others, and it was really good to see that here.

I love telling people about this book-“It’s a book about rabbits with swords!” They find it hard to believe, but that is what it is.

Well…almost I went on a trip part-way through the book, so I recorded it for them while I was gone and they listened when they had the chance. Then, one day, I decided to read it to my siblings in the evening. There are some good ones available-and The Green Ember was one that came up several times! I had seen recommendations for it on several different websites, so I was wanting to give it a shot. Synopsis: When their parents are kidnapped-or worse-Heather and Picket must seek out other rabbits to find safety and fight back against the encroaching wolves.Įver since we first got a Kindle, Mom has kept an eye on the free Kindle books, and in more recent years, I have as well. ![]()
