Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible is about to happen to the warren – he feels sure of it. And Fiver’s sixth sense is never wrong, according to his brother Hazel. They had to leave immediately, and they had to persuade the other rabbits to join them. And so begins a long and perilous journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they face their most difficult challenge of all . . .

Watership Down
By Richard Adams
Review by Renata
Yes, this book is about rabbits. It's also psychologically complex, deeply emotive and heart-in-your-mouth exciting. A love of the natural world (Watership Down is a real place in Hampshire) enables Adams the storyteller to deeply inhabit the lives of Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig and the one of the most chilling villains of children's literature, General Woundwort. His philosophy is that young readers "don't distinguish between fiction and reality. It's all reality."
