The Taggerung
The Taggerung | Brian Jacques
3 posts | 20 read | 6 to read
The nomad clan of Sawney Rath can feel their fortunes changing, much for the better. The Mighty One, the next great leader, has been born within the walls of Redwall Abbey and, at any cost, Sawney Rath is determined to harness the power of this magnificent beast - the deadly Taggerung! A baby otter is kidnapped from Redwall by Sawney's ruthless band of villains called the Juska. They believe he is a Taggerung - a legendary animal said to have supernatural fighting skills. The young otter is raised by Sawney Rath as his own son and trained to be a ruthless killer, but the Redwall spirit cuts deep and as the Taggerung reaches adolescence he begins to dream of another life . . .

When I think adventure my mind immediately thinks of all the fantasy books I devour. And Redwall is the series that really cultivated that love, so it's my pick for the #adventurebooks prompt.

LastSplash This is a series I returned to over and over again when I was growing up!💕 8y
InLibrisVeritas @LastSplash Same here! I think I read Pearls of Lutra about 5 times and I hardly ever re-read books. 💙 8y
KCorter This is the series that turned me into a reader! I love, love, love the world Brian Jacques created. 8y

[DELETED] 2852984487 I have never read any Brian Jacques. Do his books hold up as you get older? 8y
InLibrisVeritas @RStorey I think as long as you keep in mind they are middle grade fantasy books with a slight formula, then yeah they hold up. The writing style is really descriptive and beautiful at times. 8y
[DELETED] 2852984487 @InLibrisVeritas Right on! Where to start? 8y
InLibrisVeritas Redwall is the first book in the series! They are all fairly self contained stories, and they don't really follow the timeline directly. So you're somewhat free to jump around if you want. Mossflower is the second book but it's sort of a prequel. So either one of those are a good starting place. 8y
