Here is another good installment in the Redwall series, filled with zany characters and epic adventure. It's a good follow up to The Pearls of Lutra, since many of the same characters (Tansy, Arven, Cracklyn, Viola, etc.) play a role in the story. Readers also learn more about the titular group of soldiers known as the Long Patrol, as seen through the eyes of new recruit Tammo. Since this book portrays the realities and stresses of army life, it would be a good book for kids who have parents or other relatives in the service.
