There’s trouble at the Bean farm! Mr. Bismuth and his family have moved in. They’re doing a lot of damage but the Beans can’t throw them out because Mrs. Bismuth is Mrs. Bean’s cousin! While that’s going on, Uncle Ben completes his space ship and, along with Freddy the pig, Georgie the dog, Jinx the cat, Charles the rooster, and Mrs. Peppercorn, they set out on a trip to Mars. Then, when Mrs. Peppercorn accidentally throws them off course, they’re knocked off to a strange planet inhabited by dangerous Martians!
Very enjoyable! Mrs. Peppercorn is also in other books, such as Freddy and the Dragon, and Freddy and the Baseball Team from Mars.

There is evil abroad in Mossflower Wood. Slagar the masked fox and his band of slavers are on their way to Redwall Abbey. Their purpose? To capture the only son of Redwall’s warrior. When Matthias finds that they have taken his son, he and the others from Redwall set out on a dangerous quest to slay the Masked One and bring back the stolen young ones.
This is one of the darker Redwall stories, there are some really creepy characters. Still a good story. Just don’t read it late at night if you’re subject to “night-time creepy syndrome.” You can click here to do the Mattimeo Crossword Puzzle.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are suddenly called back to Narnia, and they find that Narnia is suffering under the reign of the cruel King Miraz. The king’s nephew, (and son of the murdered rightful king) Caspian, has learned the truth about Old Narnia and has fled the palace. He discovers a group of Old Narnians in hiding who agree to help Caspian regain his rightful throne and save the remaining Old Narnians from certain death.
The Narnia series is one of my favorites. I think C. S. Lewis has a wonderful writing style that really makes the characters come alive.

The farm animals are dreading the long, cold winter ahead of them. Then, a swallow suggests that they migrate! So a small party of animals, including Freddy the pig, head for Florida. On their trip they face many dangers, but always find some way out. But best of all, they bring Mr. Bean, the owner of the farm, a surprise present that will change their lives!
A great start to the Freddy series! There are some very funny parts.

When Jerry the rhinoceros comes all the way from Virginia to ask Freddy’s advice, Freddy knows something is up! And something is up. Mr. Boomschmidt, the circus owner, is running out of money! Things get so bad that the animals have to be sold or sent into the country on their own. And when Leo the lion disappears, Freddy, with the help of a few friends, set out to save the day!
Another enjoyable book in the Freddy series. Though there is a pied piper part, the book is mainly based on helping Mr. Boom.
