Bookroo's summary

Davie treasures his little black rabbit, Shadrach, a miracle in his grandfather's barn. But when Shadrach escapes, Davie's happiness shatters. Can he find his beloved pet before it's too late? The search tests his courage and hope, unraveling a tale of loss and discovery.

From the publisher

Even after Davie had had the little black rabbit, Shadrach, for several weeks, it was still almost unbelievable. Every morning when Davie woke up it was a miracle all over again – there in his grandfather’s barn sat a wriggle black rabbit, and it was his. David had never been happier…until the day Shadrach slipped through the stats of his hutch and disappeared.
