Mattimeo is stolen by an evil slave trader who wants revenge for Matthias. Slagar the Cruel has taken some of the RedWall infants, Mattimeo, Tim and Tess Church mouse, Sam Squirrel, Cynthia Bankvole, and they meet a young badger named Auma and a hedgehog named Jube. While the friends try to survive going to the south, the RedWall Mice are a wreak. Matthias, Basil, Cheek, Jess Squirrel and the shrews of Guosim take change and race to rescue the infants. They journey a long way while at RedWall the Abbot, Ambrose Spike, Winifred Otter, Constance the Badger and Foremole and his team have to solve riddles and quests to find where Jess, Basil and Matthias went to. Matthias faces nearly death, traps, enemies and Mattimo faces hatred, fear, danger and escaping the evil slave traders. As the long and perilous journey happens as both rescue and slavers are heading south to the evil kingdom. It takes all the help they need but Matthias and RedWall both get back the infants. There is a battle between MossFlower's Champion and the evil kingdom's champion, the two cause a battle and Matthias rescues the slaves and escape while the infants are freed and the battle that is raging on above all at once.
I really like this book because it is all about trickery, thinking things through, danger, escape, traps and more! It tells a tale of evil being defeated by RedWall, RedWall Abbey always has a danger happening every few seasons. It has funny languages of different types, for example, Foremole and his team speak like some country language like this, "Aye, missus. Oi dug it meself." and the sparrows speak like this "Queen see you in trouble with rat-worms. She say help um friend Matthias."
Go check out your local library and see if they have this book, or hit up some of my favorite bookstores: Barnes and Noble, Books A Million, or Amazon.com.
And I've included a copy of the Accelerated Reader information found on arbookfind.com.
