A note for parents

Salamandastron is a classic middle-grade fantasy adventure with animal characters in an epic battle narrative. While there is combat and some characters die in battle, the violence is typical of the Redwall series—neither graphic nor dwelling on suffering—and framed within a clear good-versus-evil framework. The story emphasizes courage, friendship, and heroism, with strong role models who show loyalty and determination.

Redwall slumbers in the summer sun, unaware that the mountain stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the weasel army of Ferahgo the Assassin. Or that danger is creeping towards the Abbey in the form of the deadly Dryditch fever. But when Mara the badger leaves Salamandastron, and the sword of Martin the Warrior sends Samkin and Arula from Redwall, the fates of the two strongholds becomes entwined through their dangerous and seemingly separate quests. Through forest and swamp and over great waters, Samkin, Mara, the ghostly white badger and a host of other brave creatures reach the same goal -- the final battle for Salamandastron!
