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.

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!
