//__Martin the Warrior__// by Brian Jacques Reviewed by Eden Submitted: Sept 26 2011

//__Martin the Warrior__// is by Brian Jacques. The main character is a mouse who later appears in many other Redwall books...Martin! This is the story before Mossflower, the second Redwall book. Martin is a slave in Badrang the Tyrant's castle. He attacks Badrang, so he is tied to a post on the top of the building to be seagull food. Luckily for him, Laterose of Noonvale, also known as Rose, and Grumm Trencher, her mole friend, are out searching for her brother Brome, who is prisoner in Badrang's prisoner pit. They spot Martin and scare of the seagulls with eagle cries and stones. Martin is thrown in the prisoner pit with Felldoh, a strong squirrel slave who helped Martin by throwing stones. Together, along with the help of Brome and Grumm, they escape through a tunnel. Together they escape on a boat but are separated, Brome with Felldoh going one way and Grumm, Rose, and Martin going another. Will they ever see each other again? Can Martin defeat Badrang? Can Felldoh free his father Barkjon and the other creatures from slavery? Will Rose and Grumm be able to find Brome and bring him back to his home in Noonvale? All these answers are found in this book! (If you don't like sad endings, then I suggest you do not read this book. I almost cried at the end.) Home cobra page turners
