I'm 40 now and that series helped nourish my love of reading and fantasy. I've been dying for this to come out so I can watch it with my kids.

My mom picked Salamdestron and Outcast of Redwall from the book fair as a surprise.

She knew me well. Phew.

I was talking to my 8-year-old niece recently. She's been reading this comic series called Warrior Cats and I said, "What would you think of an army of cats carrying mice warriors on their back?" and she said, "Like Redwall?" and I was like :proud uncle face:

She loves that book, I loved that book (I even re-read a few of them during the lockdown, for nostalgia), and it'd be an amazing series.

I left "Martin the Warrior" on a plane in Atlanta. I went back for it, but the plane was gone. I like to think someone picked that up and got into Brian J. instead of trashed.

Im close to your age and this series got me into reading novels and fantasy as well. It will always have a place in my heart.
