The Legend of Podkin One-Ear (The Five Realms)

Product Information

However, the only point I could create to criticize the book was I was hoping for more ambitious vocabulary and different sentence structures to challenge older readers and mix-up points and facts for better understanding. The Gift of Dark Hollow was nominated for the Carnegie Award 2019. Illustration by David Wyatt The Beasts of Grimheart Podkin is a young, lazy rabbit who should have been preparing to take over as chieftain from his dad. But does he care? No. He avoids his lessons and responsibilities, preferring to nap all the time. When the monstrous Gorm tear his burrow apart, his life suddenly changes. Podkin, his older sister Paz and Pook, his younger brother have to flee their home. Can he become the warrior his family needs him to be? Is there anywhere safe from the terrible Gorm? Het verhaal gaat over Podkin, de zoon van een stamhoofd, die met zijn oudere zus en jonge broertje vlucht uit zijn burcht als de slechte Goroms binnenvallen De Goroms doden zijn vader en nemen alle anderen gevangen. En dat doen ze bij alle burchten die ze binnenvallen. Er komen geen mensen voor in dit verhaal, alleen konijnen die zich wel erg menselijk gedragen. Podkin, die aan het begin van het verhaal nog twee oren heeft, verandert van een lui jong konijn dat nog te beroerd is om te willen leren lezen en schrijven, in een dappere strijder die het opneemt voor zijn familie.

Een verrassend leuk verhaal en zeker in Nederland zeldzaam in zijn soort. Echt de moeite waard. Hopelijk laat het vervolg van deze trilogie niet te lang op zich wachten. Zowel mijn dochter van 9 als mijn zoon van 6 kunnen zo lang echt niet wachten!Legenda o Podkinu Jednouhom savršeno je štivo za male, ali i velike čitatelje koji su željni povratka u djetinjstvo, osjećaja očaranosti boravkom u jednom od divnih svjetova koje je Larwood ovom prilikom stvorio. Ova divno osmišljena i ispričana priča o vječitoj borbi dobra i zla – koja kao da pripada bardu koji je ispričao onoj mladoj znatiželjnoj skupini – izvrstan je materijal za raspirivanje mašte, buđenje i održavanje ljubavi prema čitanju i pričama, buđenje želje za otkrivanjem nečeg novog, ali naposljetku i poučna priča s lekcijama skrivenim između redaka. The ending which I wont reveal has a very good twist that you don't see coming and I was expecting a total different outcome. Mish" and "Mash" are a great duo, they are twins who are dwarf rabbits and great gymnasts because this used to be their hobby, travelling around entertaining people with their amazing skills till they got captured....... The ending was strange because you don’t know what is coming and has a slight wobble and made me feel emotional. Even though this book was good, the starting didn’t give me a great impression until I got in to the story. Ovo, ipak, nije jedna od tih priča. Ovo je priča o malenom zečiću koji tek treba postati legendom. Riječima barda iz čijih je usta priča izašla, ova je priča različita. Zato što je istinita.

When the bard is suggesting some stories to the children, he mentions the tales of Beobunny and The Fisher Rabbit. What do you think they might have been about? Could you write your own version?It feels like the protagonists come out on top maybe a little bit too easy in the end. Everything leading up to it is set up quite well though, so it all does make sense. Podkinova priča pustolovna je, dirljiva i predivno napisana avantura koja će osvojiti baš svakog čitatelja, bez obzira na dob. Njeni srčani i dragi likovi postat će prijatelji od kojih se nećete htjeti rastati, i čije ćete nevolje pratiti sa zebnjom u srcu, a pobjede pozdravljati s iskrenim veseljem. I found the book to be fairly fast-paced, atmospheric and poignant in scenes. I do especially like Podkin, and his character. Although, I feel like there wasn't much depth to his character and the reader would enjoy hearing more about him and his past. The theme is incredibly dark in parts, which made the story rather creepy. I loved this element though. Nije ovo još jedna priča o junaku koji se nagledao i zasitio nevolja koje su zadesile njegov svijet; nije u pitanju nekim proročanstvom obećan junak koji će donijeti mir pet kraljevstava... zapravo, je li ovo uopće priča o junaku?

After capturing Charice, there is only one spirit left for Uki to find: Mortix, the most dangerous of all. With his friends Jori, Cole and Kree, Uki heads to Eisenfell – the greatest city in Hulstland – only to find that Mortix has taken control of Emperor Ash and is plotting to conquer the whole Five Realms with her terrifying army. My son discovered Podkin One-Ear earlier this year. He received the first two as present and we bought him the third almost instantly when he started reading. This is one of the first books he read that didn't have too many drawings and also where there was death of characters and where he actually kept reading at a rather fast pace. He also cannot stop talking about it (he's reading book 5 at the moment and spoiling too many things, but I love it when he's so enthusiastic about books so I just let him and try to forget :P). This book is about a rabbit that only has one ear and is called podkin. On Christmas eve a bard comes and tells the rabbit king a story. Ono što ovoj priči daje dodatnu čaroliju predivne su ilustracije, a za lakše snalaženje unutar Pet kraljevstava, tu je i divno oslikana mapa. Pohvale i za prijevode naziva zečinjaka i drugih mjesta unutar Pet kraljevstava, koji su mi zvučali osobito toplo i simpatično, te pamtljivo, baš kao u onim najboljim pričama.

The Legend of Podkin One-Ear by Kieran Larwood – WINNER BIG BOOK AWARD 2018

This story was brought along by a traveller who told young rabbits the legend of Podkin one ear.The three musketeers [Podkin, Pook and Paz] try to defeat the terrible, selfish Gorm, who is an evil, iron character. They try to defeat the Gorm because their father got killed which isn’t fair for them. On the way they meet other GREAT characters who come to help.

I had a rabbit as a first pet, when I was about nine, and this book has made me see these creatures in a different light. It's definitely a book to stimulate the imagination. The World Of Podkin One-Ear (Longburrow in the US) is a series of epic children’s fantasy stories set in a world of rabbits. There are currently six books published, with another arriving in September 2023. There will be nine books overall. The Legend of Podkin One-Ear Radioblogging.net is an amazing online radio show, full of ideas for writing and activities to do at home. They featured Podkin in a special episode, which you can listen to here.Uki’s tale continues! Along with his friends, Jori, Kree and Mooka, Uki must venture into the mysterious Fenlands to capture Charice– the spirit of plagues and diseases– before she can spread her poison everywhere. Illustration by David Wyatt Uki & The Ghostburrow Divno bi bilo sjesti uz vatru i upijati riječi kojima mudri bard pripovijeda legendu o Podkinu Jednouhom, baš kao što su tu čast imali radoznali i puni pitanja mladi zečevi. Kieran Larwood svojim pisanjem stvorio je tu intimnu i opojnu atmosferu, kao da slušamo barda, koja bi bila postojana duž cijelog romana, da oni isti maleni zečevi mjestimično nisu bili iznimno naporni s hrpetinom podpitanja. Overall, I loved this book just because it was unique and surprised me in a positive way as I did not think I would read such a heartwarming book with what it looked like on the cover. It's jolly good fun . . . expect sequels to breed like . . . well, rabbits.' SFX on T he Legend of Podkin One-Ear
