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.

When Cluny the Scourge lays siege to Redwall abbey, the home of peaceful mice, Matthias must find the lost sword of Martin the Warrior. The adventure that follows involves a quest to the abbey roof and an evil adder named Asmodeus.
Starting a series of great books, Redwall is worth reading again and again. This is one of my personal favorites. What happens to the shield of Martin in the later books? I wonder…

The evil wildcat Queen Tsarmina is determined to take over Mossflower Woods, forcing the inhabitants to slavery. Being unused to the ways of war, the woodlanders are in a desperate situation when Martin the Warrior arrives. They decide to send Martin on a journey to find the Badger Lord, Boar the Fighter. But the woodlanders are running out of time. They can’t hold Tsarmina back much longer. Will Martin the Warrior return in time to save them from their impending fate?
Even though Redwall is the beginning of the series, I read Mossflower first, and I actually like it better for starting things off. It’s a whole lot of fun and one of my favorites. There’s a Mossflower Crossword Puzzle at the official Redwall site, too.
