Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-16 00:00:00 David Hale This was a fun read that was a buddy read with @Leila over there on the other side of the pond in England. This is one of the beautiful things about Goodreads. To have a friend to relate and learn from. Without Leila's suggestion to read this I would have never picked it up on my own so THANK YOU so much. This was an adventurous story of a land called Redwall. The protagonist is a young, heroic mouse called Mariel. On losing her memory she meets wonderful critters at the Abbey that help her and her memories come back. She must save Redwall from the Searats. She is fierce and energetic and strong. She does not take crap from any living creature. The searats are miserable, nasty pirates that kill for the thrill and power over the small and innocent. They have machismo and try to outsmart one another. While I was reading this I imagined the movie cartoon version where Johnny Depth plays Gabool, the worst villain the sea has ever met. It was critter 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' Very fun YA. So full of imagination and friendship and revenge.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-17 00:00:00 Matteo Speziale I have read this book before, but it still enchants me. This was the first Redwall book that I ever picked up. I had heard that it was about mice, and I didn't want to read it. Then one day, I was soooooo bored that I picked it up and was enthralled, but was reprimanded for reading this one first, and so I took Redwall out from the library. It got better and better. I love these books. :)This is about Mariel and how she hunts down Gabool the Wild, in return for his imprisoning her and her father. Brian Jaques comes up with the coolest riddles!
