Mariel of Redwall Mass Market Paperback – March 1, 2000

This series is the best read I have found in the last 15 or 20 years!it has drama, it has suspense, it has action, it has sadness, it has happiness, it has humor, there are so many things that this book has going for it! yes it may be classified as a children's book, but I am not the only adult to read & enjoy & be hooked on this series of books.From page one, it grabs your attention & it never lets go till the end...but then it is really not the end because when you begin to read the next book, it too, gets you hooked from Page 1.I highly recommend this book & the series(22 books in all) to anyone, adult or younger, who likes a great story of how the hero saves the day with his charm, his humor & his bravery.

I read the "Redwall" series to my daughter over twenty years ago and we both fell in love with the books. At that point in time "Mariel of Redwall" was the last book in the series. I was pleased to learn that the author has continued writing many more "Redwall" books beyond # 4. My daughter, around age 8 at the time, was captivated by the tales of a brave mouse and his forest animal friends. Although this book is basically "fantasy" it teaches many lessons in kindness, ethics, bravery and love. There are heroes and villains, good "people" and not such good "people" and reading the Redwall books stimulated lots of questions from my daughter and started great discussions between us. As an adult, I loved the stories, as a child, my daughter was captivated by them, even after the time she could read them to me. I remember "Mariel of Redwall" being particularly appealing to both of us because it introduces a strong female character. If your child is an animal lover and also likes castles and kingdoms, knights, kings and queens - this is a great book. Although all of the characters are woodland creatures, they become like friends as you make your way through the series of books, especially through "Mariel of Redwall." I purchased this copy for my daughter to continue our tradition with her daughter. I believe the stories are timeless and will have as much appeal to the new generation of kids just as much as they did with generations past..

I tutor/consult home school families. One 7th grader has had difficulty focusing on reading due to a reading disability. I purchased the dvd recording of the Redwall book to introduce him to a way to follow the book while listening to the dvd. He loves it! It is no longer a struggle for his mom to get him to read for the first time in his life. He is able to read, but he has always hated it until now. The recording is done in a fun way with great expression and voices; and even his younger brother who has the same learning disability (but not as severe) loves listening to the dvd and reading now too. The Redwall series are also a great series for boys in upper elementary and junior high level to enjoy outside reading. Thank you for a wonderful product done in a wonderful way to help students!

Loved this book and I’m re re reading the series. Love the action and momentum Brian Jacques does with this series.

The book arrived in good condition, but it was not signed as advertised. It had several library stamps (which I do not mind) which had been scribbled over with sharpie (which I do mind).It is an intact hardcover copy of a book no longer in print, and given those circumstances it was a good purchase!Still disappointed it was advertised as signed when it isn't, as this item was a gift.

My son loves the Redwall series.

My youngest child discovered the story about a little warrior mouse that I have read no less than five times to my own children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. However, it is Mariel's story that captured my heart and has never let go! A true classic by author Brian Jacques, Mariel of Redwall should be in a prominent place on any tween's bookshelf!

Great book. We enjoyed it and the lessons it teaches. Kept us engaged throughout the entire book and could not put it down.

This was the first Redwall book I read some 25 years ago. All the ingredients are there: a quest, riddles, heroes and a brilliant villain. The perfect story.

A good read for those who love the Redwall series!

Good length.Good plot.Varied characters.Fantasy genreGenerally brilliant10 more words are required of me. Here they are.

Can't put it down!

My son has been devouring these books and can't wait for the next in the series. Anything that encourages reading has got to be good
