Geoffrey Robert: All It Will Take, Gebunden

Klappentext

In a countryside where the earth remembers every injustice and the wind whispers the names of forgotten heroes, two rabbits-one black, one white-witness a single act that changes everything. Nell, the son of a black warren leader, flees with Ollie, a brave orphan doe, to the Golden Field-where black rabbits labour under white rule. There, they join a growing resistance determined to challenge a system built on fear, division, and control. Levi, raised in comfort and certainty, follows a different path as the old order begins to fracture around him. Inspired by the life of Nelson Mandela and echoing the emotional depth of Watership Down, this allegorical novel explores themes of injustice, leadership, diversity, and reconciliation through vividly imagined animal societies. It invites readers to reflect on moral courage, complicity, and what it means to lead-or to stay silent-when change demands a cost. This hardcover edition includes exclusive discussion points, ideal for classrooms, libraries, and book clubs. These questions explore the story's deeper ethical and political questions: When should we challenge authority? What sustains inequality? And who bears the burden of speaking out? Also included: An Author's Note exploring the allegorical inspiration and symbolic choices Two Afterwords offering historical context, including one written as a rabbit dialogue A Glossary of rabbit-specific terms and invented language

A compelling and timely read for both teen and adult readers, All It Will Take is a story of defiance, legacy, and the unyielding hope that change is still possible.
