If the way Heather and Picket fix their eyes on restoring the Mended Wood—standing with Smalls against Morbin Blackhawk and swearing, “My place beside you…”—hooked you, you’ll love Gregor’s plunge into the Underland. Like the rabbits fleeing to Cloud Mountain and rallying around a rightful heir, Gregor takes on a prophecy-anchored mission to rescue his father and unite uneasy allies, driving the story with the same urgent, purpose-filled momentum.
You felt it when the rabbits at Cloud Mountain held fast in the shadow of Morbin Blackhawk and kept the oath of the rising Ember. That same warm, luminous hope glows as the Pevensie children step through the wardrobe into Narnia, where acts of loyalty and sacrifice turn the tide of a seemingly unwinnable war—much like Heather and Picket’s faith that the Green Ember will rise again.
If you enjoyed seeing Heather steady her younger brother and Picket harden his resolve through training and trials—growing beyond fear after the wolves’ attack and the flight to Cloud Mountain—you’ll click with Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby. Their scrapes, secrets, and hard-won courage echo the way Heather and Picket mature under pressure, learning who they are and what they’re willing to risk.
The rabbit clans’ histories—the Longtreaders, the legacy of King Jupiter, the whispered hope of Smalls—give The Green Ember its lived-in feel. Redwall offers that same depth: abbey traditions, warrior legends, and songs that feel as real as the rabbits’ code. If Cloud Mountain’s culture and the Mended Wood’s history drew you in, Redwall’s tapestries of lore and hearty community will feel like home.
From the wolves’ devastating assault on Heather and Picket’s home to desperate flights and knife-edge skirmishes, The Green Ember moves. Into the Wild hits the same tempo: Rusty dives into the warrior clans and is thrust into patrols, ambushes, and rivalries that turn on a heartbeat—much like the surprise betrayals and battlefield scrambles that carry Heather and Picket toward Cloud Mountain.
