The Taggerung is about the inhabitants of an abbey in Mossflower Wood called Redwall. The occupants of this little abbey are kind and generous but will fight for their home if they have to. A band of evil weasels, stoats, foxes and rats known as the juska are out to capture the child from Redwall prophesied to be the Taggerung, an awesome fighter and tracker. They aim to raise him as their own, for to have a Taggerung in a clan is a great sign of wealth and power. What will happen?

The Taggerung is a great story from one of these centuries greatest childrens book writers and creator of the classic Redwall series. He has outdone himself with the flavor and script of this tale of adventure, food, friends and suspense. This book is guaranteed to keep a child wrapped up for many hours as he or she savors the text in this fantastic story. I highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of ten, I enjoyed it and I hope you will too.
