About
'A brilliant debut; vivid and compelling.' JENNI FAGAN
'You won't be able to predict the outcome of King Of Rabbits ... It's a powerful and tragic read, making a profound statement about how important access to opportunities can be, and how much of an impact your childhood and background can have on your future ... It's a brilliantly crafted story about class and race, and the failure of society to catch children who fall through the cracks.' Independent
Chosen as Book of the Month by Afrori Books Featured on BBC Radio 4: Open Book _________________________________________________
Kai lives on a rural council estate in Somerset with his three older sisters, and his mum who is being led into an addiction by his troubled father. Kai adores three things: his dad, his friend Saffie and the school rabbit Flopsy — and is full of ambition to be the fastest runner in Middledown Primary. But Kai's natural optimism and energy collide with an adult world he doesn't understand. And when his life drifts towards an event that will change everything, will his love of nature and the wild rabbits in the woods provide him with the resilience he needs to overcome the odds? _________________________________________________
