I first read this about 20 years ago, when I was a 2nd grader, and it is the first book I remember being physically unable to put down. Jacques is just a fantastic storyteller. ( )

Read aloud with Amanda and Zack at bedtime for years. Great adventure series. Suspenceful and funny and sweet. Good read-a-loud since short sections. ( )

I loved this book. The first time I came asross it was when my fifth grade teacher read it to the class. By the time she finished reading the first few chapters it had me hooked. I came across it agian a few years later and decided to reread it. It still had me enchanted. All the characters have left huge impression on me. I don't think it really maters how old you are you'll find this book and all its other sequals an enjoyable read. ( )

This was a very cute book. Creatures protecting themselves and the stories about their history are fun. Redwall is a great start to the long series that follow. ( )

It was the start of the Summer of the Late Rose. (Prologue)
Matthias cut a comical little figure as he wobbled his way along the cloisters, with his large sandals flip-flopping and his tail peeping from beneath the baggy folds of an oversized novice's habit.

Redwall (novel)

Book description
The mice of Redwall Abbey must defend themselves against the invasion of Cluny the Scourge, a rat with ambitions of power and cruelty. In this novel of epic battle, peaceful creatures band together to defeat the enemy -- but they never lose their awareness that they are not made for violence. A young mouse, Matthias, finds his true calling as a leader-warrior and defender of the Abbey.

An enjoyable story, for advanced intermediate readers (could be a readaloud for this age group) or junior high and up.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0441005489, Paperback)

As the inhabitants of Redwall Abbey bask in the glorious Summer of the Late Rose, all is quiet and peaceful. But things are not as they seem. Cluny the Scourge, the evil one-eyed rat warlord, is hell-bent on destroying the tranquility as he prepares to fight a bloody battle for the ownership of Redwall. This dazzling story in the Redwall series is packed with all the wit, wisdom, humor, and blood-curdling adventure of the other books in the collection, but has the added bonus of taking the reader right back to the heart and soul of Redwall Abbey and the characters who live there.

Magical, mystical, and the stuff of legends, this stunning tale of good battling with--and ultimately triumphing over--evil takes the reader on a roller-coaster adventure that barely draws breath from the first page to the very last. Brian Jacques is a true master of his craft. --Susan Harrison
