A lavishly illustrated woodland tale with a classic sensibility and modern flair?from the fertile imagination behind WickedGregory Maguire turns his trademark wit and wisdom to an animal adventure about growing up, moving on, and finding community. When Papa doesn't return from a nocturnal honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother assumes the worst. It's a dangerous world for rabbits, after all.
