On the Isle of Sampetra, Emperor Ubla, better known as Mad Eyes, sends his lizard army on a mission to capture Redwall. Meanwhile the inhabitants of Redwall are on a mission of their own--to solve the six fiendishly difficult riddles that will lead them to the rose-colored gems, the Pearls of Lutra. As they get closer to solving to riddles, the lizards get closer to Redwall and a battle to the death begins. One of the excellent fantasy adventure series about the mystical Redwall, Pearls of Lutra is a magical, mind-blowing adventure that never disappoints. Brian Jacques expertly weaves his web of intrigue through the pages, capturing the imagination with a stroke of a pen as if he were a wizard with a wand. Challenging, colorful, and, most importantly, readable to the point of addiction, The Pearls of Lutra is an absolute must. --Susan Harrison

 Medeocre Adventure February 22, 2008
Pearls of Lutra, by Brian Jacques, is part of the Redwall series and i believe deserves 3 stars. This book has many songs and poems, most of which are just filling up space, but the main character is very intriguing. I would recommend this book to kids under the age of 15 because all the characters are animals and the songs and poems are good for the little kids to enjoy. I enjoyed most of this book and i hope you do too.
 A magnificent review of The Pearls of Lutra December 13, 2007
The Pearls of Lutra by Brian Jacques is a great book of adventure and surprises. The book takes place in Redwall abbey, Mossflower wood, and on the seas, between mossflower and the island of Sampetra. Ublaz Mad-Eyes, a fox who has comfortably ruled with an iron fist for as long as anyone could remember, owns the island. Ublaz rules over many vermin, and a few score cannibal lizards. However the main characters of this book are Tansy the hedgehog, and her friends who take on a quest to find 6 perfect pink pearls, referred to be the title. This book is filled with Jacques' usual, including endearing characters and perplexing riddles. The riddles were quite entertaining in this book, providing considerable challenge. Also Martin the Warrior makes a few appearances in dreams, and Martin the second shows up too, being his normal dependable self, protecting the ########, and bringing villains to their knees. On this journey with Martin is Grath Longfletch, an otter bent on vengeance of her slaughtered family. All in all, not one of my favorites, and the relationship from the animals to the natural world is kind of confusing (trees, waves, etc.) but one of the better fantasy books out there. If you liked this book, you'll probably also like The Long Patrol which is another book in this series.
The Pearls of Lutra December 6, 2007
The book The Pearls of Lutra by Brian Jacques is a great book with many twists and turns. If you liked the other Redwall books, then there is a good chance you'll like this addition to the series. It's about an otter who's Holt (tribe) is slaughtered by a band of "seavermin". She comes upon Redwall abbey, and after their Abbot is kidnapped, she sets out on a quest with Martin, and other creatures, for vengeance of Holt Lutra, and to rescue the Abbot of Redwall. After a few broken ships, going under an inactive volcano, and getting towed around be seals, they finally get to Sampetra. Sampetra is an island of Ublaz Mad-Eyes, which is torn between a war of Ublaz and his cannibal-lizards, against many traitorous vermin, who used to be loyal to him. Ublaz, who was after 6 perfect pink pearls that he thought were at Redwall, keeps the abbot locked in his palace. Four Redwall creatures then began a quest of their own. An old creature who recently died has hidden the 6 pearls, which the abbey creatures plan to use as the Abbots ransom. Will the 4 creatures find the pearls to save the abbot? Will he even need the ransom if Martin gets there first? Will Martin even succeed in rescuing him? Read The Pearls of Lutra to find out!
 AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! September 27, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't understand how this book got so many good reviews! It was awful! Let me list the things that I hate about this book.
.No battle at the end
.No armies
.Stupid puzzles
.I actualy felt sorry for the bad guy, he just got tricked and creamed so many times, he's hardly a threat to the good guys! He keeps getting crushed by these pirates, his army betrays him to the pirates, and the 5 good guys show up in the end and totally destroy the rest of the bad guys army, the pirate's ship, and the bad guy himself! It was pitiful! In all, this book was terrible, I only gave it one star because it had a cool swordfight in the end. Skip this book! Read the other Redwall books though, they're good {except for Loamhedge, it's bad too}.
 The Tales of Pearls of Lutra December 15, 2006
This book is about a young hedgehog growing up to be an adult. When he grows up his father gives him a quest to become a warrior. His quest enables him to find out that he's a prince. This book is a real good book if you like action books. I enjoyed the adventures and war topics found in this book. Enjoy reading this book because you'll enjoy the read.
