Redwall is the first book in the Redwall universe. It takes place at the ancient abbey of Redwall, where the animal inhabitants live in peace until a rat called Cluny the Scourge and his army of vermin creatures threaten the abbey. Young Matthias and a really old mouse, Methuselah, try to solve some riddles left by Martin the Warrior, the founder of the abbey, to save the abbey from the claws of Cluny the Scourge.
I reccomend this book for 5th grade to Adult animal fantasy readers, because of its difficult younger reader comprehension.

I really like this review. I think one more sentence characterizing the mystery, fighting, action and romance in the book would help.
ReplyDeleteFor example: Brian Jacques leads you through a tale full of sharp action, mystery and even a little romance as Young Matthias and a really old mouse, Methuselah, try to solve some riddles left by Martin the Warrior, the founder of the abbey, to save the abbey from the claws of Cluny the Scourge.
Okay... how about this?
ReplyDeleteRedwall by Brian Jaques is a lush romance cleverly disguised as an epic adventure tale.
NOT.
