Amazon.com Review
Heaved off her ship in a pirate raid, Mousemaid Mariel is washed up on the shores of Mossflower. With no idea where she is, or indeed who she is, the young warrior mouse embarks on an unforeseen adventure that will take her to the very heart of Redwall and into the arms of the people who live there. Mariel of Redwall is a captivating and magical adventure story in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. At times gentle, but mostly packed with adventure and heroism on the grandest of scales, this tale is at once delightful and devastating in its proportions. Jacques weaves his customary magic, taking the reader to the heart and soul of the mythical Redwall--welcoming, terrifying, magical, and at times all too real. The place, the characters, and the adventure spring to life in a bout of indefinable magic, mystery, and mayhem. An excellent book that will leave readers begging for more. (Fortunately, there's plenty more where this came from!) --Susan Harrison
Product Description
When the mouse-ship carrying Joseph the Bellmaker and his daughter Mariel runs afoul of a pirate rat king, they are mercilessly tossed overboard. Washed ashore and certain that her father is dead, Mariel vows revenge.
"A satisfying ripsnorter of an adventure." --Kirkus Reviews
"A female protagonist [lends] a contemporary touch to the series...perilous battles and rousing adventure." --Publishers Weekly

 excellent September 24, 2008
I tutor/consult home school families. One 7th grader has had difficulty focusing on reading due to a reading disability. I purchased the dvd recording of the Redwall book to introduce him to a way to follow the book while listening to the dvd. He loves it! It is no longer a struggle for his mom to get him to read for the first time in his life. He is able to read, but he has always hated it until now. The recording is done in a fun way with great expression and voices; and even his younger brother who has the same learning disability (but not as severe) loves listening to the dvd and reading now too. The Redwall series are also a great series for boys in upper elementary and junior high level to enjoy outside reading. Thank you for a wonderful product done in a wonderful way to help students!
One of the best Redwalls yet March 28, 2008
Mariel of Redwall is the fourth in the Brian Jacques Redwall series. This book like all the others features a cast of young woodlanders fighting evil, this time evil searats. This book has a particularly strong heroine in Mariel, but still relies on friendship and teamwork in order for good to triumph in the end. It is a real page turner and anyone who is enjoying the series will surely enjoy this one too!
 Starts good, ends bad/ September 29, 2007
This book began with a really sweet beginning, all dramatic and cool, but it just kept getting more and more boring as things went on. The sequel to this book is awesome though, so I still highly reccomend this book!

I love the redwall series. Every book is a joyous romp. Stories and characters are interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. This book, however, marked something of a departure. I was on a big redwall high when I first read the book, and read books 1-4 in order. When I got to this one (4), I was dissapointed. All of the redwall books have some familiarity as to the type of story, but this one came off as downright formulaic. The characters aren't very interesting or unusual, and the plot moves ahead at more of a plod than the usual redwall trot. The supposedly terrifying villian shows himself to be paranoid and incompetent and little else, a contrast to his supposed tyrannical and iron-clawed ways. His name is an eyesore to the sight and a complete departure from the usual creative, well-named villians of the other books. Mariel herself is somewhat amusing, but decidely one-dimensional and other than joseph, the other main characters are hardly drawn at all. This is easily the worst book in the redwall series, and when I've been surprised to see its one he's decided to build off of, considering how poorly done it is by comparison to other works in the series.
Read it only for the sake of reading the whole series, and possibly because of the re-use of characters in other books. It's a page-turner, but only because you can't wait for it to end.
