When the First Animal Bank is robbed, and the animals begin receiving threatening letters, everyone starts to panic. Rumors appear about a strange creature called the Ignormus living in the Big Woods. Things get worse and worse until Freddy decides to organize a group of animals and find out what the Ignormus really is, and what it’s up to.
This is another great book. A must-read for all Freddy fans.

Young Tamello De Fformelo Tussock dreams of joining the Long Patrol, a group of trained fighting hares who serve Lady Cregga Rose Eyes, the badger ruler of Salamandastron. When Russa Nodrey, a traveling squirrel, visits Camp Tussock, Tammo’s mother, Mem Devinia, helps Tammo to run away with Russa to join the Long Patrol, despite Tammo’s father’s wishes. Meanwhile, Damug Warfang and his Rapscallion horde are making their way towards Redwall Abbey. Redwall’s defenses are down and they need the Long Patrol’s help.
I believe this is the shortest book of the Redwall series, but still quite good. It’s unique in that it follows Tammo and the Long Patrol all throughout the story, giving you time to get to know all the hares in it. It does, of course, flip between the plots like in all the others. Well, let’s hear it for the Long Patrol! Eulalia!

No Flying in the House is a fun book about a young girl named Annabel Tippens, a little white dog only three inches high and three inches long called Gloria, and Mrs. Vancourt, the hostess of the two. It all starts when Annabel breaks a little ornament swan, one of Mrs. Vancourt’s favorites. In the middle of the dilemma, a cat appears. It hints mysterious things and then promises to fix the swan if Annabel will never mention the cat’s visit to anyone else in the household. From then on, Annabel gets more and more of the story and eventually the whole story pours out. But it’s not all fun and games! At the end, Annabel must make a decision that will change the rest of her life.
Very nice mystery. You may have to go through interlibrary loans to get it, but you may find it’s worth it!

Mrs. Bean’s long-lost older brother Aaron Doty comes to the Bean farm to visit her and to collect his share of a large inheritance, which, if the Beans give it to him, will ruin the farm. Freddy is sure that Mr. Doty isn’t who he says he is, and when Mr. Garble comes back to town, Freddy knows something is up. But Freddy must also go to high school so that he can play football in the big game between Centerboro and Tushville.
I love the way Freddy always gets himself into problems like this. Rest assured, though. Freddy is still the pig from the previous books and always manages to get out of them.

Martin the Warrior goes on a quest, along with mousethief Gonff and Foremole Dinny, to discover what happened to his Father, Luke the Warrior. Meanwhile, the others at Redwall are still building the abbey.
I would say that this is my least favorite of the Redwall books. The style of writing that the fans will have come recognize is almost absent. It also has two different stories: The story of the quest of Martin, and the story of Luke the Warrior. Because of that, neither story is as long as any Redwall fan would expect. Other than that, it’s a good and enjoyable read.
