An antic page-turner by the Newbery Honor-winning author introduces the rabbit-like Montmers, their coyote-like enemies known as the Felbarts, and the mild-mannered Montmer Perloo, who must bring peace to the two tribes.

Avi's work spans nearly every genre and has received nearly every major prize, including the Newbery Medal for CRISPIN: THE CROSS OF LEAD and Newbery Honors for NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH and THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE. Avi lives in Denver, Colorado. You can visit him online at www.avi-writer.com.
Those who love a hapless, reluctant hero, with more wisdom than he may ever recognize in himself, will find their penultimate champion in Perloo, a member of the long-lived Montmers, a sophisticated race of jackrabbit-like mammals. John McDonough's slow, deliberate narration is the perfect match for this tale of trying times, gallantry, and diffident heroism. His subtle characterizations come in the form of pause, inflection, and pacing, rather than more extreme vocal intonations. The urgency of Perloo's situation, when he's called to assume the position of "granter" for his race, will hold readers rapt. Torn between a chance for glory and a longing to crawl back to his burrow and curl up with a good book of history and a cup of tea with honey, Perloo will charm both fantasy and adventure-loving children alike.
