Someone somewhere (where was that quote?) called this “a new story with an old soul,” and I can see why: in the tradition of classics like The Chronicles of Narnia or The Princess and the Goblin, Smith uses fantastic elements to tell a story that is lively and engaging but that courses with good, old-fashioned virtue. Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events. Smith of Story Warren, The Green Ember tells the tale of Heather and Picket, two rabbits set adrift in a corrupted wood by the loss of their home and family. Long before Heather and Pickets adventures in The Green Ember, a displaced community fights for hope on the ragged edge of survival. I dropped everything else from my reading list and started The Green Ember that afternoon. My husband murmured reverently, “It’s beautiful.”
“Oh, what is that book about?” Only the baby remained uninterested-everyone else huddled around me to study the cover of The Green Ember.
