With every incident, however, the value of each individual becomes clear to the others, and they coalesce into a unified band. But few of them have been far from home, and their journey is perilous: They're attacked by rats in a barn, must cross a creek, and are lulled into a false sense of security in a warren whose rabbits turn out to be fed-and harvested-by a farmer. When Hazel's clairvoyant brother, Fiver, predicts a catastrophe, Hazel gathers other young rabbits willing to flee to establish a new warren of their own. Charismatic characters, nail-biting action, and an engrossing plot combine to produce a classic. Never mind that the characters in this long and complex but thrilling epic are rabbits-Beatrix Potter, this isn't. A band of young males, relegated to the fringes of society, set out to find a place where they can live free and proud.
