Illustrated by
Kate Hindley.
When a small, timid rabbit named Shylo Tawny-Tail overhears a gang of Ratzis (paparazzi rats) plotting to embarrass the queen of England, he bravely leaves his country burrow to help the Royal Rabbits of London (militaristic royal protectors) take down the pap. Scratchy line drawings bring the characters' personalities to life, while tongue-in-cheek critique of technology modernizes this old-fashioned animal adventure.
