ladylondonderry 's review for:
Mariel of Redwall
by Brian Jacques
This book I will always keep dear to my heart. The day my mom bought this for me was the same day that a certain infamous Brian Jacques was having a book signing not too far away from my middle school. That's right, my copy is signed my the big man himself. I was in sixth grade at the time and I believe that while I was waiting in line, I took a spare piece of paper and created a mouse in a boat (awful quality, but 3D nonetheless). When I got up to the front of the line, he took one look at me and said that my name must be Erin Magonagle. I don't know for the life of me who Erin Magonagle really is, but I took it as a compliment and he signed the book I gave him my mouse-boat. I double he kept it but he looked so pleased to have gotten it at all that it made my day (or my year).
To focus on the book itself, Mariel was always a character that I loved. She was the unconventional Redwaller, the one that didn't quite fit in. I may or may not have carried around a bit of rope (my own Gullwhacker) for a few weeks after reading the book - I admit nothing.
This is an especially good book for kids who don't feel as though they fit in with the rest of the crowd. I was the odd one out for a long time, and this book was a great companion for that time.
