content: Here I am writing this review unable to express how fantasticlygreat this book truly is. If you have not read any of the Redwallseries than set aside old harry thing and pick up Redwall. This novel is bursting with action,homliness, and crushing evil. The book starts off with young Matthias who has the spirit of Martin {the warrior and founder of Redwall Abbey} in him. Matthias must embark upon a great adventure seeking out the forgotten sword of Martin the warrior of Redwall. Without the sword, Redwall Abbey does not stand a chance against the evil rat, Cluny the Scourge.Although this book is considered a kids book it should be for any person who has a brain in their head and knows how to read. In my mind ,this book is rated 6 out of 5 stars. You heard all this from a twelve year old boy who loves to read.
