Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH meets Warriors in this “humorous, fast-paced adventure” (Kirkus Reviews) that proves that even the smallest rabbit can be the biggest hero from publishing power couple Santa and Simon Sebag Montefiore. Life is an adventure. Anything in the world is possible—by will and by luck, with a moist carrot, a wet nose, and a slice of mad courage! Shylo has always been the runt of the litter, the weakest and quietest of all of his family. His siblings spend their days making fun of him for not being like the rest of them. But when Shylo stumbles across a band of ratzis and overhears their evil plan to take a photo of the Queen in her nightie, it’s up to this unlikely hero to travel to London and inform the Royal Rabbits of London about the diabolical plot! The Royal Rabbits of London have a proud history of protecting the royal family and now the secret society need to leap into action to stop the ratzis… But can a rabbit as feeble and shy as Shylo convince them that Queen is in danger?

Scrawny Shylo is a target for the scorn and derision of his brothers and sisters and most of his fellow rabbits. When he overhears a plot concocted by a group of vile ratzis to take a photo of the queen, Shylo goes immediately to his friend and mentor, Horatio, who urges Shylo to travel to the Royal Rabbits of London who are sworn to the queen's protection.
Shylo is a character children can easily identify with, and his story of rising above his physical limitations is noble and bold. The story is delightfully filled, like the best of stories, with enough action and adventure for children as well as a sufficient quantity of subtle and clever humor for adults.
