How will the two young rabbits be able to help them and have the courage to do so? All is revealed as the story unfolds chapter after chapter. Almost from the start, the reader is introduced to the plot when the rabbits discuss the mystery which divided the forest and forced their parents to move - leaving them sad most of the time. Smith has done a magnificent job writing such an imaginative tale! I love that the Heather and Picket - two rabbits - are the protagonists of this adventure story,They have to deal with much in their young lives, but with courage and loyalty they help their mother and father to protect their home. Thanks S.D.Smith for writing these FABULOUS books and inspiring me to become a writer.įor a first novel the author, S.D. I've read hundreds of books and personally, I'm convinced that these stories are some of the absolute BEST in history and will become just as well loved as The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. S.D.Smith is one of our favourite authors and we can't wait for his next book to come out. Me and my little sister have read these books and listened to them on Audible lots of times and we both absolutely love them. His books are very well-written and I couldn't put them down because each chapter keeps you hooked.
#Green ember books series
I would definitely recommend this book series to anyone aged 6 and above. They are strong, caring, and loyal, and they inspire me to be more like them. I can't pick a favourite character as they are all amazing.
I find books where that happens, very boring and unrealistic. One of the things I love the most about The Green Ember series, is that even though the story is about good vs evil, it isn't like most books where good wins every time. This book is about two rabbits who are separated from their family and have to fight evil. Smith over at Kindred Grace.This review has been written by my 10-year-old daughter. To get to know more about the author’s dedication to literature, passion for family, and his inimitable sense of humor, read my interview with S.D.
The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner (Tales of Old Natalia, Book 2) The Black Star of Kingston (Tales of Old Natalia, Book 1) ( Listen to the one-hour audio preview available at Story Warren.) “Till the Green Ember rises, or the end of the world!” The Green Ember Series (But you’ll also be anxious to read or listen to the rest of the series!) Read The Green Ember. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll hug your family tighter. Yet the lessons in character and perseverance are such a natural part of the story that you learn along with Heather, Picket, and their friends, rather than feeling like they are trying to teach you a lesson. “You can choose what you believe, Shuffler, but you can’t change what’s true.”īut it’s also about pride and trust, the wisdom to be gained in community with mentors and friends, and the hope of a new world in “The Mended Wood”. Definite edge-of-your-seat adventure with lovable characters and classic drama appropriate for the entire family. Somewhat reminiscent of The Chronicles of Narniaand The Hobbit, it also reminded our family of The Tales of Larkinseries and Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga.
The Green Emberis a tale of two rabbit siblings who learn a lot about friendship, bravery, and sacrifice. “What do I always tell you? ‘Not enough salt is an in-salt,’ and ‘Too much salt is an as-salt!'” But before we knew it, we’d be laughing again at some of the humor cleverly inserted throughout the dialogue:
Some paragraphs moved my girls and I nearly to tears. The tale kept the entire family entertained–from my husband down to our 3-year-old son (just when we thought he wasn’t listening any more he’d pipe up with a question about the characters or a worried comment about how he hoped someone would be okay). And our hearts warmed as the siblings fought to protect each other, against all odds. We were instantly transported to the grassy field where Picket and Heather were playing “Starseek.” Joel Clarkson’s superb narration kept us on the edge of our seats as they encountered danger after danger. Our family first experienced The Green Ember in audiobook form on a 2,000 mile road trip earlier this month. Smith calls it “a new story with an old soul.” And the moment you step into Heather and Picket’s world you’re struck by the very timeless quality of the story. And these rabbits have swords.ĭescribing his debut novel, S.D. There is Pat the Bunny, The Velveteen Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter Cottontail, Br’er Rabbit, and Uncle Wiggily to name just a few. But these classic children’s stories about rabbits have a new companion that numbers among our family’s very favorites: The Green Emberby S.D. I suppose stories about rabbits are as old as they are beloved.
