 | | The reluctant hero of this fantasy, Perloo, is a mild-mannered, shy, reclusive member of the Montmer tribe animals that are a cross between jackrabbits, prairie dogs, and humans. |
 | | Hair-raising adventures ensue as Perloo finds himself involved in a power-struggle with the villanous Berwig the Big, the jealous son of the former granter, Jolaine, who feels that the title should rightly be his. |
 | | When Perloo is forced into the role of leader and peace-maker between the tribes, his qualities of modesty, honesty, and integrity eventually win through, but his biggest decision comes at the end of the novel when he must choose how to handle his new-found responsibilities while remaining true to himself. |
