a group of talking rabbits went on a giant adventure.
review
Ok, I know that a book about talking rabbits doesn't really have cross generational appeal... but what if I told you it was all an allegory, they weren't really rabbits, they were people (with some very rabbit like characteristics and logic) and the adventure they were going on is actually the story of the uncertainty we all face when we have to do the unexpected (like war). Still not appealing to you? Don't read the book then. For everyone else, this book is a wonderfully written story about how different personality types interact when thrown together. Guaranteed to increase the average middle schoolers vocabulary I recommend this book to anyone in middle school OR to anyone who has a kid to share it with. I also recommend that if you didn't have the pleasure of reading this when you were a middle schooler pick up a copy now and give it a go. (Disclaimer: You will get tears on the book... if you have a soul... you will cry)

"Animals don't behave like men,' he said. 'If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures' lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality."
"He fought because he actually felt safer fighting than running."
If you enjoyed this I recommend:
Where the Red Fern Grows - Wilson Rawls
Shiloh - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
the Redwall series - Brian Jacques
The Once and Future King - T H White
