Taggerung, Published in 2001 by Brian Jacques, Philomel Books

"In which the otter Taggerung, having discovered that he is too pure of heart to live and fight beside the vermin clan who raised him, embarks on a journey to find his true home and family . . . "

This is the 14th book in the series. It is a good story. Boorab the Fool is my favorite character. I always like the hares, appetites and all, plus all the cracks made about them and by them.

Lord Brocktree, Published in 2000 by Brian Jacques, Philomel Books

"In which the mighty badger warrior Lord Brocktree - with the help of the spirited young haremaid Dotti - must reclaim the mountain of Salamandastron from the army of a villainous wildcat . . ."

The 13th book in Brian Jacques' New York Times Bestseller Series, Lord Brocktree is one of my favorite Redwall books. I love the characters, especially the main one, the strong, quiet badger lord who has a great sense of humor: Lord Brocktree. I also like all the battle chapters. There is a great one at the end. If you read it, you will love it.
