Redwall (Book I)

Okay. These books are awesome. Thank you, Brian Jacques!

Redwall books are my all time favorite. Right now I'm on the fourth one, so I will go back and tell you about Book I.

It's medieval times, but instead of humans there are mice, rats, weasels, and so on. Redwall is an abbey (a church and surrounding buildings) where mice monks from the woodland live. In the first book the abbot's name is Mortimer; he's a wise man who takes care of the abbey and the mice monks. He gives the orders while the warrior does the jobs. Matthias is the main warrior in this book. I like him because he is brave and persistent. His friend, Basil Stag Hare, is really funny because he calls everyone funny names, and he eats a LOT, more than everybody - even badgers. Oh, and I almost forgot Cluny! He's the main bad guy, actually he's a rat. Cluny has a rat army and takes over Redwall Abbey for a little bit...but I won't spoil the story by telling you how that turns out!
