Redwall books by Brian Jacques

I've gotten really behind on reports. here are Redwall books. I highly reccommend them.

Marlfox
Marlfoxes are magical foxes. Their queen 'must be surrounded by beauty'. They have heard of Redwall Abbey's wealth and many beautiful things, and go to capture it. They steal a tapestry of Redwall's famed warrior, Martin. Dann, Song, Dippler, and Burble go to recapture it.

Redwall
Matthias is a bumbling mouse who becomes a warrior when Cluny the Scourge and his army attack. They have also heard of the Abbey's riches. Redwall is besieged! The sure way to defeat them is to get back Martin the Warrior's sword-but it is guarded by Asmodeus the snake!

Salamandastron
Ferahgo the Assassin has returned to Salamandastron! He intends to plunder the extict volcano for the supposed treasure. Urthstripe is the Badger Lord who, along with ten hares, protects the mountain. He has a daughter named Mara. She runs away, meeting up with a long-lost uncle and two Redwallers. Together they save Salamandastron.

Mossflower
Martin the Warrior has come upon Kotir, home of the wildcats and the self-proclaimed rulers of Mossflower! He joins with Corim, a resistance force, to kill the remaining wildcat, Tsarmina. Their plan includes flood tunnels....

Mattimeo
Mattimeo is the son of the great Matthias. Slagar the Cruel hates Matthias and all of Redwall for what they 'did' to him. So he dicides to get revenge by stealing Redwall's young ones...and selling them as slaves.


The only things I don't like about these books are silly things that really shouldn't matter. But since these have big battles in every one, it mentions how a lot of animals die. That is not cool with me. Another is the pictures at the beginning of each chapter. Some are really wierd. But I enjoy all the songs and rhymes. I like how each type of animal has a different was of talking. Each book has a riddle that the heros solve before they can get the bad guys. it's fun trying to solve it with them.


SPRING BREAK!
