This is another great read by Brian Jacques that takes place in the world of Redwall Abbey. It does start out a little slow, but don't worry, the story picks up and it is worth the wait. This anthropomorphic adventure is a great read! I would, however, recommend that if you read it to children that you gage what they can handle because there is violence, slavery, mental health issues, and death in the book. I listened to the Recorded Books Audiobook version and found it to be enjoyable, some of the voices were hard to understand, but it was fun to hear a full cast (and the author) perform the story.
