About this title

Review

Shylo, with his sensitive nose and quick wits, proves that "by will and by luck, with a moist carrot, a wet nose, and a slice of mad courage," anything is possible. Words to live by.--Booklist "November 1, 2017 "

Shylo wends his way to London and, conquering fears and self-doubt, leads the delightfully eccentric Royal Rabbits on a labyrinthine search for a secret tunnel to foil the rats' paparazzi-style scheme. Composed of whisker-thin lines, newcomer Hindley's scratchy b&w illustrations echo the classic qualities of this polished animal fantasy driven, of all things, by a defense of one's right to privacy in a digital world.--Publisher's Weekly
