Winner of the Best Story Blue Peter Book Award 2017

A thick white blanket covers the wide slopes of the band of hills known as the Razorback Downs . . .

The Legend of Podkin One-Ear follows Podkin, the son of a warrior chieftain who knows that one day it will be up to him to lead his warren and guard it in times of danger. But for now, he's quite happy to laze around annoying his older sister, Paz, and playing with his baby brother, Pook.

Then Podkin's home is brutally attacked, and the young rabbits are forced to flee. The terrifying Gorm are on the rampage, and no one and nowhere is safe. With danger all around them, Podkin must protect his family, uncover his destiny, and attempt to defeat the most horrifying enemy rabbitkind has ever known.
