Rating:

This book is full of adventures and daring tasks. It is a book everyone will enjoy.

The characters are the best part of this book because they are so exciting. For example, Gonff is a mouse who is good at everything, and Ripfang is the worst enemy anyone could have.

One reason I like the books in the Redwall series is because the description is detailed enough for the readers to visualize the characters in their minds. The toads, Bane’s army, and the bats were described very well.

The events were awesome and adventurous. They had to face many dangers and obstacles before they could complete their missions.

The ending was very surprising. I did not think the moles would get such a great idea because they are not that bright.

The organization was also very well done. It stayed on one topic, and each topic was closely related. It id not jump from one topic to another. [Ravi]
