Salamandastron by Brian Jacques

3.0

Of the Redwall books I’ve read again to my daughter, this one ranks more highly. Like Mattimeo there are some really sweet parent-child relationships (and not so sweet ones!!) giving the book more depth and emotion than just adventuring and fighting. There were more plot lines and characters too making the story more compelling. I enjoyed the story line of Thrugg and Dumble the most; though, Mara and Pickle with the shrews was pretty great too. 8 year old really enjoys these read aloud.
