New Story with an Old Soul

“A captivating story with sword-bearing rabbits, daring quests, and moments of poignant beauty, The Green Ember is a tale that will delight and inspire young readers to courage and creativity.” Sarah Clarkson, Author of Read for the Heart

Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events overtake them, spilling them into a cauldron of misadventures. They discover that their own story is bound up in the tumult threatening to overwhelm the wider world. Kings fall and kingdoms totter. Tyrants ascend and terrors threaten. Betrayal beckons, and loyalty is a broken road with peril around every bend. Where will Heather and Picket land? How will they make their stand?

  • I never write reviews but had to come here to sing the praise of the work S. D. Smith is doing in the Green Ember saga. The world needs more books being published today like this one - "new books with old souls"...hard copies will be landing in Easter baskets next week.

    Alison on The Green Ember

  • Our family finished reading this book aloud this morning, Resurrection Sunday, which was so fitting both because of the time period over which the author wrote this book (Lent to Easter for much of the writing) & because of the hope that it calls to mind which on this day of all days reminds us of the hope that Jesus' resurrection brings to those who are in Him.

    Wes on Ember's End

  • Throughout this 410-page story, catastrophic sacrifices pile up upon each other. And then, when it is the darkest, miraculous light breaks in, and not only wins the day, but restores much of what has been lost. This story feels like Lent leading into Holy Week, and resolving into an entire Easter season.
