Taggerung

What I like best about listening to Brian Jacques' books is that the author speaks as the narrator and that he hires many people to speak the characters' parts. I especially like Taggerung because the plot of the story is not like other Redwall series books. This book differs from other Brian Jacques' books because normally in his books some creature from Redwall Abby or another place is captured. Then later the same notorious villain in the book captures someone from Redwall Abby and then a hero from Redwall Abby saves the creature that was stolen from the Abby and the other person who was stolen from another place decided to live in Redwall Abby. In Taggerung a little otter cup named Deyna gets cubnapped by the Juska Rath clan, which is led by Sawney Rath. The reason they stole little Deyna is he has a mark on his paw which looks like a speedwell flower. This is the mark of a Taggerung. The Juska Rath has a prophecy that some beast with a speedwell flower mark will be a great warrior and their leader. Sawney Rath raises young Deyna/Tagg as if he was his own son. He teaches him all the fighting skills he knows therefor Tagg becomes a mighty warrior. Many animals are jealous of Tagg and this causes problems within the clan. Tagg always knows something isn't right but he doesn't know why he feels that way.

Now if you want to know the rest of the story and what happens in Redwall Abby you will just have to read the book and find out yourself. I personally thought was an amazing and spell binding book.
