Hi everybody, Smart Girl here. Today you're going learn about Mariel of Redwall, by Brian Jacques, my favorite one in the whole series. So, let's get started!
First, the synopsis. In this one we meet the self-named "Storm Gullwhacker,"a young mouse who was washed ashore around Salamandstron. She finds her way to Redwall Abbey, where she meets another young mouse named Dandin. While at Redwall, she regains her memory (which she had lost) and learns that she is named Mariel and that she was kidnapped by Gabool the Wild.
Now, my opinion. I think that this is the best Redwall book in the entire series. It has a very funny line one time she's at Redwall. The line is when a dubbin (a term for very young Abbey dwellers) asks if Mariel wants to play. She "plays" by throwing a ball and then hitting it into the air with her Gullwhacker and it lands on another Redwaller. When the infuriated Redwaller asks who threw it, Mariel replies, "I hit the ball high. It's called playing. D'you want to play?" Mariel is a great character as well as all the others. There are some really funny moments. Therefore, I recommend this to anybody who wants a good book.
