Review: Redwall Abbey has for many season been a peaceful and calm place, known throughout the land as being a hospitable place to stay. But one day, a threat overshadows the creatures of all Mossflower woods, Cluny the Scourge has come! Cluny, the enormous sea rat with his eye patch on showing only his one gleaming eye and his long, strong tail with the poison tip on it. And Cluny wants only one thing, he wants to take over Redwall Abbey as his own!Cluny sends them a message: Surrender or die. And the Redwall creatures answer him, they will fight him. The Redwall creatures Constance the badger, Jess the squirrel and her son Silent Sam, Foremole, Basil Stag Hare, and others are fiercely determined to stop Cluny and his rat hordes from taking over Mossflower. But Matthias, the young mouse and Methuselah, the old record keeper, believe that victory will be ensured for them only if they can find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior. Following clues and riddles, they find out that the sword is on the highest point of the Abbey, on the weather vane. Jess the squirrel bravely climbs to the very top but is attacked by sparrows. Jess comes down safely bringing down one young female sparrow. The put the sparrow called Warbeak inside a basket and keep her prisoner. Jess says that the sword was not there and they are all disappointed. But Matthias, being able to catch on to the sparrow's language, discovers from Warbeak that the sword was taken by the king of sparrows, King Bull Sparra. Matthias, taking Warbeak as a guide, goes to the sparrows place high above in the attics of the Abbey. Warbeak and Matthias becomes friends and that is what saves him when the sparrows start attacking him. Warbeak tells everyone that Matthias came to return her to her tribe. The young mouse is made into a pet for Warbeak and her mother Dunwing. Dunwing tells him that King Bull Sparra did have the sword but it had been stolen by the deadly poisonous adder, Asmodeus. Can Matthias escape the sparrows to try to get the sword back? And even if he does, will he be able to defeat the deadly snake, Asmodeus? Asmodeus with his eyes that can charm it's victims and his poisonous teeth? And will the Redwall animals be able to defeat Cluny? This is the first book written in the Redwall Series, though if you were to read the books in time order, books like "Martin the Warrior", "Mossflower", "Mariel of Redwall", and "The Bellmaker" are before this book. As with all of the Redwall Series, I love the hare, Basil Stag Hare, with his military ways, his enormous appetite, his humor, and his faithfulness to stick with his friends. Really like Silent Sam, the squirrel, too! Also love all the riddles and puzzles in which Matthias and Methuselah had to solve to find the sword.

Review: Brian Jaques brings to life in the Redwall series a fantasy lived by many young children: animals that talk and live thier own human like lives, Mice, squirrels, otters, birds, rats, weasels, a badger and other critters populate tis popular series, which tends to mock medevil human life. Along with a stunning ability to make animals work in a social group much like humans, he seems to have an overwhelming knowledge of cooking, swordplay, and herbal healing. I recommend this book to anyone with children that are into fantasy and animals, if your children like Stuart Little, or Cats&Dogs, give this series a try.

This was a fantastic story from beginning to end.Like a few books some have a slow start but Brian Jacques,the author of Redwall, knows his way of words.From the battles at the Abbey to mysterious clues of Martin the Warrior.This has to be one of my favorite books I've ever read!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Unique and Amazing at the Same Time Review: Redwall has to be one of the best books I've recently read. It has the quality of grabbing you by your throat and drawing you right into the story. Matthias, the brave young warrior, with his friends and advisers, must stop Redwall from being taken over by the evil Cluny the Scourge. The book is rather graphic in the ways that the animals die(i.e.: the scalding of Darkclaw or Asmodeus, the evil serpent) but that adds to the excitement!! Everyone should read this book!!

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: GB's #1 Review: The ultimate children's (or adults!) action adventure story, and all the rest of the series is even better. J.K.Rowling takes second place. No other book I have ever read induces such inspiration, fun, humour, great battles, quests, riddles and tear jerking happiness. No magic wands, but plenty of heart. BJ doesn't need wizards to create an amazingly magical tale of adventure set in an old fasioned medieval setting. You want to be part of this world. It doesn't get any better than this.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Red Wall the Book Review: Imagine a story about a bunch of mice in a castle under seige against an army of evel rats. Imagine the middle ages with swords and bows andarrows, but they have animals such as rat's mice and moles. Each is better than others. I recommend this book for children ten years or older. This auther Brian Jaque's decribes the charactors talking like the animalsw they are. This book Red Wall is by favroit book. It has a good story,it feels like you are in the book. This book is a belivable fanticy book because it feeles like I'm in the book. The book Hatchet was my favroit novel. Now that I've read this book, it's so much better. The book Hatchet is still a good book. Ounce you read this booki you will want to read the whole series. In this book you never know what is going to happen next. This book Red Wall is my favroit novel. No other books can compare to this one. It's because it is the only book I've ever read for pleasurs. I first got this book for by birthday. I like it because my name is Brian and the auther of Red Wall and the seires is by Brian Jaque's. This book was so good because before I used to wach T.V. and play video games and things like that. Now I read more. I don't watch T.V. and do things that I used to do.
