Thank you @stjohnwriter @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #WarBunny #Bunny #Rabbit #Animals for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. War Bunny is book 1 in the series and is Fantasy genre and anyone from the age of 13 years upwards will adore this book. I absolutely love the front cover, It's very pretty with the rabbit and the flowers on her. War Bunny reminders me a little of Watership Down, which is a fabulous film and book. I think War Bunny is right up there with Watership down. There are quite a few narratives in the book which I liked hearing from the other animals, prospective. It was very easy to get into War Bunny and it is definitely a page turner. If you love rabbits and animals, this book is for you. I felt like I was going on an adventure with the rabbits. The story made me smile and was touching at times. My favourite character was Anastasia, how brave she is, and I found she would challenge the elders by asking them questions that they don't like and get exiled for her opinion. . Amazing read that has a fantastic plot and is at a good pace that you can keep up with . Engrossing read 5 stars. Blurb Winner - 2022 International Book Awards - Fantasy “A rebel rabbit turns the world of predators and prey on its head in this debut fantasy. An entertaining, imaginative post-apocalyptic scenario with special appeal for animal lovers.” -Kirkus Reviews “A fierce and cozy adventure.” -The Portalist “Great for fans of Richard Adams’s Watership Down.” -Publishers Weekly “The book's ultimate message is one of hope.” -Foreword Clarion Review WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BUNNY FIGHTS BACK? In a post-apocalyptic world where humans are extinct and animals thrive, a young rabbit starts to wonder why rabbits must accept their status as prey animals. She asks pointed questions of the warren elders, and gets exiled for it. Without a warren, she's enormously vulnerable, but she reaches out to others in desperate straits. Soon, she's locked in a ferocious battle for survival—and maybe even freedom. Part naturalistic adventure, part modern-day fable, War Bunny is a fast-paced story about friendship, honor, standing up for yourself, and coming of age. A great adventure read for teens and adults!

It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
