The beginning of a lenghty series about a warrior mouse (yes mouse). It's a very interesting blend of adventure and fantasy. Hey it's not LoTR but it's good and let's face it, it spawned 5 additional adventure about the same mouse. Nice thing is both kids and adults can enjoy this book.

this is a standard book i keep around for gifts for middle school aged children. it is always good to give books, and i like to start them on a series so if they like it, they know where to go from there. especially popular genre for kids today bc of harry potter and the like. charming, thoughtful, action-packed, oh and cute.

This is the first book in an excellent series! It takes place in the world of Redwall Abbey, home to peaceful woodland animals. But their safety is threatened when the rat, Cluny the Scourge, and his vermin horde decide to capture the Abbey. A thrilling yarn, complete with humor, action, a hero's lost sword, delicious feasts, and riddles.

As the inhabitants of Redwall Abbey bask in the glorious Summer of the Late Rose, all is quiet and peaceful. But things are not as they seem. Cluny the Scourge, the evil one-eyed rat warlord, is hell-bent on destroying the tranquility as he prepares to fight a bloody battle for the ownership of Redwall. This dazzling story in the Redwall series is packed with all the wit, wisdom, humor, and blood-curdling adventure of the other books in the collection, but has the added bonus of taking the reader right back to the heart and soul of Redwall Abbey and the characters who live there.
Magical, mystical, and the stuff of legends, this stunning tale of good battling with--and ultimately triumphing over--evil takes the reader on a roller-coaster adventure that barely draws breath from the first page to the very last. Brian Jacques is a true master of his craft.

Redwall is the first installment of the series which made Brian Jacques famous. The adventure is classic, the characters are witty, hilarious, and cuddly. What's not to love?

An exceptionally wonderful beginning to a series worthy of reading if you are a fantasy fan. This is a series that both adolescent, teen and adult can read - and read together! If you have kids who love adventure, read this series with them. You won't be disappointed.

A non-conventional fantasy novel--small, furry animals are the main characters. Mice get help from hares, squirrels, badgers, etc., to fight the evil rats!

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK, BUT MY KIDS ENJOYED IT MORE THAN I DID. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE HARRY POTTER'S CHARACTERS AS ANIMALS, YOU GET AN IDEA OF THE BACKGROUND.
