MossFlower! A Caring and Crazy Tale of MossFlower Woods!

MossFlower is the second book of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques! It is about a young traveler named Martin the Warrior passing by the realm of future Queen Tsarmia, Tsarmia, an evil wildcat who poisons her father, becomes Queen of MossFlower, and takes Martin as a prisoner. When Gonff, is captured by Tsarmia, he has the council of Corim rescue him and Martin. As Tsarmia gets even more angry, Martin, Gonff and a mole called Young Dinny go on a quest to Salmandastron to find Bella of Brockhall's father, Boar the fighter. As the triad go on this epic quest the Corim and LoamHedge Mice must fight and survive the mad Queen Tsarmia. Martin and friends have help, dangers and other obstacles on the way through their journey. Both sides have adventures, secrets, ambushes, plans, and more to survive the harshness of the Mad Queen or survive the anger in the quiet peaceful fighters of MossFlower.

This book does very well describing the scenes on the pages of MossFlower and the journey to Salmandastron. The only thing that would make it better is the journey to Salmandastron! I thought there would be more friends than foes but it had both, (that is not the main thing at this point). I would like to have read more about fast winding rivers, sea rats, crabs and sinking sand. Even so, there is a lot of excitement in this adventurous book!

Just like with my first review, 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.
