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.
