Redwall is about a mouse whose name is Matthias. He is an orphan that lives in Redwall Abbey. His quest is to get the famous sword of Martin the Warrior and kill Cluny the Scourge. In this story, some of Matthias's friends die, which is kind of sad 😢, but there are lots of happy parts 😊, too.
Redwall is a great tale. The book is divided into three sections called "books": The Wall, The Quest, and The Warrior.
This book is full of adventure and is action packed. I love the way you can see the characters in your mind. Brain Jacques is such an imaginative author.
Brian Jacques wrote Redwall for children at a school for the blind in Liverpool, so he focused strongly on descriptions. That must be why you can see the characters in your mind. After that, an English teacher read Redwall, and showed it to a publisher without telling Brian Jacques. This resulted in a contract for the first five books in the Redwall series and a dedication to the English teacher in the front of several Redwall books. I think it is funny that someone showed Brian Jacques' work to a publisher without permission, He must have been upset at first. (I would be really mad if I were Brian Jacques 😠.) After that, though, I bet he was happy. 😀
SPOILER ALERT
In this book, I like how Cluny is crushed by a the St Joseph's bell.
I don't like how Methuselah and Abbot Mortimer die in the book.
I really enjoyed Redwall and think you would to
