About this book

Two warrior squirrels embark on a dangerous quest when a ruthless wolverine named Gulo the Savage threatens the peace of Mossflower and Redwall Abbey. Swept into a chase for a mysterious Walking Stone, they face battles, riddles, and far-flung journeys across a richly imagined woodland world. With feast-filled pauses, songs, and plenty of humor, this Redwall adventure blends action and heart. Great for middle-grade readers who enjoy heroic quests, colorful characters, and epic good-versus-evil tales.
