  • “The story has underlying lessons aimed at children (but equally valid for adults)...Using rabbits instead of children likely takes some of the immediate terror out of the situations, but children will identify with Jo, Nate, and their friends. It’s a rollicking good story, with good messages.”


    Glynn Young

  • “S.D Smith has done a splendid job in creating a story with a depth and complexity that parents can enjoy yet it's elementary enough that my kids can follow along. Smith writes exquisitely for his intended audience and the characters he has created are believable and consistent.“


    Timothy

  • “An adventure with a feel reminiscent of the classic hero's journey...If you enjoy stories about moral imagination and rabbits with swords, this is a solid story. Fans of Redwall will enjoy.”
