Okay. For years, on and off, I have remembered very clearly just a couple scenes from a book I loved as a kid. Every time I Google it, I just come up with Watership Down, and I am almost certain that isn't the book I was reading.

I swear the cover was black and white with a lone bunny facing some mountains or a dark path or something.

The book was about bunnies (possibly going to war, or infiltrating bigger and scarier bunnies). I remember them describing the other bunnies as giant, burly bunnies that walked on two feet versus four, and their feet were described as like 1 or 2 ft long.

I remember a scene where the main character was in a kitchen and almost got caught, and had to hide, and almost got caught by the other bunnies. I also remember these bunnies were in the mountains or something.

I know it's a long shot, but never hurts to try.

I swear the bunny's name started with a P and it was something like Peru. That's not the name, but I swear it was similar to that. Thanks anyone who even tries.

What year or approximately how long ago do you remember reading this?

I was thinking of The Green Ember series by S.D. Smith, but that was published in 2014, so, not that long ago.

There are also the Redwall books by Brian Jacques which feature many hare characters along with other animals. Some of the books take place at the mountain fortress Salamandastron. I haven't read them all, but there is a comprehensive Redwall Wiki if any of these names ring a bell. That would cover the 90's and early 2000's era.

I'm looking for a title to a story where the Bookshop is inherited by a woman (Miranda?). She keeps finding clues in notes that are hidden in the books.

I can't remember much else about the book, except the cover has a stack of books (vertical, not horizontal) on the front (not that distinctive). It was a larger format paperback and had those covers that have a folded in piece mimicking a dust jacket. Fairly recently published.

The keyword search (on LT) for bookshop or bookstore was totally unhelpful. Sorry the info is so scanty.

Thank you!
I see I was wrong about the cover illustration. Excellent that you figured this out so quickly from my sketchy information.

Perloo the bold. That's the one! I cannot believe it.
