When Bunns is born with small but perfectly functional rabbit ears, the warren is abuzz with auguries. Surely such short ears spell bad luck for the community. Sheltered in her familys burrow, Bunns listens to the rhythm of her mothers heartbeat Thump, thump, thump a song of home and belonging. Her father explains that unlike a rabbits words or thumping feet, a heartsong cannot lie. But the unknown world of the meadow, the sounds and smells above, call to Bunns. When at last shes ready to brave the staring and whispering of neighbours who fear her because shes different, and the disapproving elders who threaten to banish her family, she finds a world beyond the warren where myths and riddles, magic voyages and important new friends await. Can the bad omen bunny follow her own heartsong to a destiny a wish meant just for her
