Riftgard has been taken over by the evil ferrets who have imprisoned and enslaved the woodlanders living there. Triss the squirrel, Welfo the hedgehog and Shogg the otter are secretly planning to escape. Simultaneously, the badger Lord Hightor’s son, Sagaxus and the hare Bescarum run off to seek adventure with the sea otter Kroova Wavedog. And to top it all off, Redwallers are on the trail of rediscovering Brockhall. This is wonderful story. A definite must-read.
This is absolutely one of my favorite Redwall books. I couldn’t tell you anymore in the review without giving things away. But please read it and find out how it ends! There’s plenty of humor. Bescarum, (affectionately called Scarum) has some hilarious songs that he sings. Which you can expect from practically any hare. Lots of duels and fighting. Some large adders and a bunch of free-booters. Please excuse me. I want to go read it now.

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…

A tiger named Shere Khan was hunting in the jungle when he scared some people away from their campfire. When they ran they left a baby boy behind. The tiger tried to eat the boy, but the wolves protected the boy because the tiger was hunting in their part of the jungle. The mother wolf named the boy Mowgli and often told him how he would have to kill the tiger when he was older.
I like some books better than this one, and there aren’t many funny parts in it, but it’s still pretty good!

In this, the first Mary Poppins book, Mary Poppins comes to be the governess of the four Banks children, Jane, Michael, and the Twins. Strict and stern she may be, but when it comes to having tea up next to the ceiling, telling stories, putting stars back in the sky and talking to Hamadryads, Mary Poppins is an amazing person.
The Mary Poppins books are different from the movie. In the books, Mary Poppins is much more stern. Oh, and I’m sorry, but the dancing penguins are not included in the books. It’s fun how Jane and Michael are never quite sure if their adventures were real or not.
