Summary: Review of Mattimeo (Audio Cassette)
Review: I'm a fan of all Redwall books. I like all of them, and this was no exception. It had great imagery, a twisting plot, unforgettable characters, villianous enemies, and enigmatic riddles. There are few things in this book that I think should be changed. I thought that the ending was rather abrupt, and more of the story was left untold.I recommend this book to ages 8-14, though some of the younger readers may need some help. (This review is based on both the book and the tape)

Summary: Mattimeo
Review: Mattimeo is an interesting book about a young mouse called Mattiemo. He is the son of Matthias, champion of Redwall. This book starts out peaceful with everyone enjoying the day. Then Slagar the Cruel arrives. He tricks the Redwallers into letting his horde in. He then drugs all the drinks. As the knockout powder does its work Slagar takes many of the abbey's young ones, among them is Matthias's son, Mattimeo. Slagar chains them all and then rushes sought to the dreaded kingdom of Malkariss. Driven by rage and sorrow, Matthias, Jess Squirrel, and Basil Stag Hare go out to search. After searching a while, they are joined by Cheek, an otter that has an appetite of a hare. Then they are joined by Orlando the Axe, a badger, and Jabez Stump, a hedgehog, both also searching for their stolen children. Following the trail they run into a trap set by Slagar. However, they manage to pull through when Log-a-Log and his Guosim shrews arrive to help. Then they all travel together to capture and kill Slagar the Cruel and his slavers. Meanwhile, Redwall comes under attack by General Ironbeak and his ravens from the northern lands to conquer Redwall because they are getting old for life in the northern lands. In the end General Ironbeak is defeated and Redwall is saved. Matthias and his band are also successful but the good Log-a-Log is killed in battle. A new Log-a-Log has been chosen. Slagar the fox is killed when he falls into a well and remains trapped forever. Everyone, including the freed slaves, goes to Redwall and live there. Log-a-Log and his shrews come once every two seasons to visit. Mossflower is peaceful once again.

Summary: MATTIMEO
Review: Mattimeo is written by Brian Jacques. Mattimeo is the Continuation of the book REDWALL. This book begins in the summer of the Golden Plain. A cunning fox, named Slagar the Cruel, and his evil henchmen sneak into Redwall Abbey to kidnap the Woodland children, including Mattimeo son of the great warrior mouse Matthias. Matthias and a bunch of brave followers set out to find and rescue the young children that were stolen into slavery. Like they didnt have enough troubles already, a Raven, named General Ironbeak, comes to Redwall Abbey and tries to take over. The troubles ahead i cant tell you must read the book to find out. I Recommend this book to anyone that has read Redwall. you should read Redwall first or the book will not make much sense. i give this book 10 stars Brain Jacques is an excelent writer
