About this eBook

Barradum! Barradum! Barrabubbitybubbityboom! Tamello De Fformelo Tussock wants more than anything to join the Long Patrol, those staunch and stalwart hare warriors who make their home at the top of Salamandastron Mountain. But Tammo, as he is called, is too young and inexperienced. Or is he? Guided by the nomad squirrel Russa, Tammo makes his way to Redwall, where the Long Patrol has gathered to protect their beloved Abbey from the great rat Rapscallions. And as the mighty rats rear their ugly heads and ancient Redwall warriors fall, young Tammo learns what life, death and honor really mean as a new generation of Redwall heroes comes to the fore to save their home from evil.

Ratings and reviews

this is honestly my favorite of the redwall series books or at least it used to be I haven't read it in a very long time but this is the one I will always recommend to people that are unfamiliar with the series. Brian Jake's is a fantastic author who perfectly describes and builds his world and inhabits it with very relatable characters who just so happen to be woodland creatures.

I love the whole series. This is one of my all time favorites.
