Product Description

The most captivating Redwall novel yet!
There has never been a Redwall hero quite like Rakkety Tam, the roguish Highlander squirrel who sets off for Mossflower Wood on a mercenary errand and loses his heart to the charms of Redwall Abbey. And there's never been a villain quite like Gulo the Savage: a vicious beast-eating wolverine who descends upon the Abbey in search of a relic called the Walking Stone. Readers will cheer at the return of the Long Patrol, the antics of a renegade vole thief, and the emergence of a new champion to wield the sword of Martin.
As fans of Brian Jacques and the bestselling Redwall series know, the adventures just keep getting bigger and better.

Numerous battles occur across Mossflower Country and eventually end at the doorstep of Redwall Abbey. This fast-paced adventure will keep readers on their toes until the final battle.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. In this seventeenth Redwall title, Mossflower Country and the peaceful inhabitants of Redwall Abbey are under threat from Gulo the Savage, a flesh-eating wolverine who murdered his father and now seeks to kill his brother and recapture the Walking Stone. Two warrior squirrels, Rakkety Tam McBurl and his friend Wild Doogy Plumm, set out with the hares from the Long Patrol to battle Gulo and protect the abbey residents. Jacques' tale of war and courage includes a cast of thousands that battle fiercely and relish their comradeship, most often through banquet and song. Several intriguing characters stand out, including Yoofuss the vole, a compulsive thief who steals every trinket he comes in contact with; Sister Armel, a Redwall squirrel maid whose dreams help foretell the story's outcome; and a turtle called Rockbottom. The complex plot and frequent use of Scottish dialect may try a casual reader's patience, but Redwall fans won't be deterred. Kay Weisman

THE GREATEST STORY YET!!!!!
It is a good book to read,kids will love the action packed adventures of...Rakkety Tam McBurl!!!!The artwork intriged me alot. The story was fun to read and it never got boring or too repetitive. I read it in like a week it wasn't hard reading thus making it a good book for children of all ages...and adults can read them too.

Rakkety Tam
A Redwall book - and that means fun dialog, great descriptions of feasts, excellent villans and heros, and a few minor variations on the common framework.

You can most likely jump in anywhere in the series, so if you haven't read any others you *could* start here. However, for most this will be a story read along the way, either in order of publication or in order of the timeline posted on the Redwall site - me, I like to go in publishing order. Enjoy!

One of the best
This is one of the best Redwall books that I have read, and have reada them all
