Review: On a ship headed for Salamandastron, Mariel and her father, Joesph the bellmaker, were taken captive by the infamous searat, Gabool the Wild.

Rating:  Summary: AWSOME!!... Review: In the beginning, a hopeless mouse was thrown into the sea to drown. The mouse's name was Mariel, but after she hit land where Redwall stood her memory went blank. She was tied to a rope and used the rope to defend herself against a bird that attacked her. She named herself Storm Gullwacker since she came from a storm and she whacked a gull with the rope she was bound to. Eventually she made it to Redwall with some help and found her true identity, Mariel. She was determined to find and kill the one who ruined her life and to find her father, the bell maker. What she was up against was the king of sea rats, Gabool the Wild. Her friends, a mouse, a squirrel, a hedgehog and a mole, who are determined to help her on this quest, would be there when needed. Mariel is a maiden with the heart of a warrior, and her friends also develope that warrior character and became warriors. Another book by Brian Jacques is The Bellmaker, the story of the father of Mariel and the whole series of Redwall books. The mood of the book is angry and in other parts the mood is peaceful. In the beginning of the book, the setting is an ocean, later on it's a forest setting, mostly the whole book either has and ocean setting or a forest setting. The genre of the book is action and adventure, and some mystery. I personally liked this book because it keeps you wondering what's going to happen next and it has a lot of battles and rivalry. I think the kind of person that would like this book is one who likes to read about medieval times and a person that likes mystery and battles all in one. The age rating I would think is 10 and up.

Rating:  Summary: Fun, but not that exciting, but still a good book to read! Review: This is not one of my favorite books in the Redwall Abbey, mainly because the main character is a female. I prefer male main characters. However, I enjoyed this book too, and it was fun to read. In this book, Mariel is a mousemaid who gets thrown overboard when captured by the enemy, Gabool the Wild. (He is a searat) Mariel gets washed ashore, and forgets everything about herself-even her name! She calls herself as Storm, and her rope as Gullwhacker, and comes to the Redwall Abbey. After staying for a few days, she goes away from the Abbey with Dandin to search for her father, Joseph the Bellmaker. This book is exciting, especially the part where Dandin finds Mariel's father. I felt so excited that part! This book was quite fun!
Rating:  Summary: Go Mariel Review: This was one of my fave Redwall books, though the plot wasn't much different from that of the other books in the series, hence the rating. What was different was the fact that a female character was placed in the lead role, with an attitude similar to that of Martin the Warrior himself and complimented by the wayward style of her companion Dandin. Rough, tough, and unafraid, she is among my favorite characters Brian Jacques has created thus far. I see no reason for anyone to avoid reading this or call it poorly written solely based on the fact that the lead character is female. Complete with battles, friendship, and courage, it is a true Redwall tale. This book shows that even the smallest female mouse can have the heart of a warrior. "Mariel of Redwall" is definitely worth the time and effort.
