The Rabbit´s Gift

Quincy Rabbit and his warren live a simple yet high-stakes life. In exchange for the purple carrots they need to survive, they farm and deliver Chou de vie (cabbage-like plants that grow human babies inside) to the human citizens of Montpeyroux. But lately, because of those selfish humans, there haven´t been enough carrots to go around. So Quincy sets out to change that--all he needs are some carrot seeds. He´ll be a hero. Fleurine sees things a little differently. As the only child of the Grand Lumière, she´s being groomed to follow in her mother´s political footsteps--no matter how much Fleurine longs to be a botanist instead. Convinced that having a sibling will shift her mother´s attention, Fleurine tries to grow purple carrots, hoping to make a trade with the rabbits. But then a sneaky rabbit steals her seeds. In her desperation to get them back, she follows that rabbit all the way to the secret warren--and steals a Chou. Quincy and Fleurine have endangered not just the one baby inside the Chou, but the future of Montpeyroux itself--for rabbits and humans alike. Now, they´ll have to find a way to trust each other to restore the balance. Told from both Quincy´s and Fleurine´s perspectives, The Rabbit´s Gift will enchant fans of Katherine Applegate, Gail Carson Levine, and Anne Ursu.
