Whats Everybody Saying?

• Booklist Review Books for Youth, Middle Readers
  Gr. 5-7. This seventh adventure in Jacques'
  popular Redwall saga harks back to Mariel of
  Redwall (1992) and features the feisty mousemaid
  Mariel as well as her father, Joseph the
  Bellmaker. Having had no news of Mariel for
  several seasons, Joseph is worried and rightly so
  he discovers when Martin the Warrior gives
  warning in a dream. Joseph soon finds himself
  sailing south with a small band of friends to
  confront the diabolic Foxwolf Nagru, who not only
  has conquered the kingdom of Southward, but also
  has imprisoned Mariel and her companions.

Whats Everybody Saying?

• School Library Journal Review Gr 4 Up--Fans of
  Jacques's books will be delighted to see this one
  hit the shelves. With the exception of the
  Redwall Abbey folks, all points converge at
  Castle Floret for a grand battle, with fights to
  the finish for the bad guys, and a grand
  celebration feast for the victors. This is
  storytelling at its best. Adventures abound, and
  with them comes heartache. New readers will
  undoubtedly demand the other titles after
  finishing it.--Patricia A. Dollisch, DeKalb
  County Public Library, Decatur, GA
