Classic Young Adult book newly republished

International playwright Robin Hawdon's first novel, 'A RUSTLE IN THE GRASS', an epic nature saga written thirty years ago, was recently discovered to have attracted a slow-burn list of extraordinary 5 star Amazon reviews, and consequently has just been republished. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) January 19, 2015 - Robin Hawdon is best known as a writer of stage comedies, but his first novel, a 'Watership Down' type epic involving a titanic struggle between two ant colonies (with obvious parallels to the human condition) was published many years ago as a Hamlyn 'Book Of The Month' launch, but after initial high sales subsequently faded from view. However, since the advent of Amazon and the digital age it was discovered that the book had attracted a list of five star reader reviews that were extraordinary even by Amazon's standards. Consequently it has just been re-published by Thistle.

' ....There are very few books that make me nostalgic for innocence and childhood. This one easily tops the list..... Buy a copy, for yourself, for your kids, for any reason at all. Treasure this.'

'....A fantastic, well-paced, beautifully told story that grows on you more and more the older you get. I liked this better than Watership Down. A great gift to get children into reading.....'

'This is one of those books I buy, whenever I see a copy somewhere, just so I can give it to someone or their kid. The story is enchanting, the biology well-used, and the characters are simply unforgettable....'

'I re-read this one every few years, it takes me back - a wellspring for nostalgia and fond remembrances. It's wonderful - a celebration of hope and courage and dignity in the face of destruction....'

'Although relatively unknown, this is by far the best fiction book ever written. I love it, and I have no doubt that anyone who reads it will as well. It is a magical story.....'

'My favourite book until this day..... My teacher asked to borrow the book over the summer. Two years later in our classroom bookshelf there was a 20-copy set of this book for all of the students to read!'
