The Gift of Dark Hollow
Kieran Larwood, David Wyatt
The legend of Podkin One-Ear continues in this second Five Realms’ adventure from the winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Award.
The bard tiptoes out of his room, the crow-dream still echoing in his head, making him twitch at imaginary creaks of iron wings . . .
The bard must leave Thornbury. It is not safe for him to stay. Rue, his new apprentice, travels with him – keen to learn his trade – and hear the next installment in the legend of Podkin One-Ear . . .
Podkin and his fellow rabbits have been sheltering in Dark Hollow after their battle with Scramashank. Paz tends to the rabbits with sleeping sickness; Crom meets with the war council . . . Podkin has nothing to do! Frustrated, Podkin goes exploring and discovers an abandoned underground chamber. Armed with the Gift of Dark Hollow, Podkin learns to moonstride, and Paz is rewarded with a magical gift of her own . . .

This book is about 3 siblings who go on a life risking journey. And what surprises me is that they were rabbits!

This book is a fantastic read to enjoy over a few days. My favourite character is Pook because he is a gift to the three rabbits who have faced the Gorm many times and escaped them for all the times they've seen them. Pook finds lots of clues which have helped them quite a lot (even the small ones). Eventually, they find the lost gift of Dark Hollow which Shade the cursed hid away because the rabbits living there were fishing too much. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has read the first sequel to this book.

yes
Inspector Crocodile Sofa 30.07.2021
In all of the Podkin one-ear books there’s going to be a new magical gift like Starclaw in the first book and in this book Ailfew and Moonstrider. I recommend this to people who like a bit of danger and excitement in their reads.
Professor Pixie Rubber-duck 17.07.2021
Podkin picks up the story just where he left it, the bard gets an apprentice and the adventure begins!
