Mariel of Redwall
by Brian Jacques
Action, adventure, anthropomorphic animals, songs and poems, humor, and even a touch of romance—there’s something for everyone in Mariel of Redwall by Brian Jacques—or everybeast, as they say in Redwall! Mariel, a mouse, finds herself stranded on shore after being tossed about in a storm at sea, with no memory of who she is or what happened to her, and decides to call herself Storm. With the help of some hares and a grumpy old squirrel, she makes her way to Redwall Abbey in Mossflower Woods. Once she remembers what happened—she and her father, Joseph the bellmaker, were captured by searats and Mariel ended up thrown overboard—she sets off to find the searats and get her revenge. She is unexpectedly joined by her friends Dandin, a mouse, Tarquin, a hare, and Durry, a hedgehog. With the help of an ancient poem, they face dangers and make new friends along the way. They are headed for the isle of Terramort to defeat the searats, especially their king, Gabool the Wild. Meanwhile, the creatures of Redwall are fending off an attack by searats who have camped in Mossflower.
If you like questing and battles, and you love animals, this book (and the other books of Redwall) is perfect for you! There is humor sprinkled throughout; for example, the moles have a funny way of talking, and the young Redwallers, called “dibbuns,” are always trying to avoid bathtime and looking for their own adventures. There is even a little romance between two of the hares. This is an excellent story for adults and kids alike. The creatures of Redwall display the values of courage, determination, kindness, compassion, and integrity, and prove that good always triumphs over evil and love always conquers hate.
