Review by Alice Cary

If you're a fantasy-lover but aren't yet familiar with Brian Jacques's mighty mice of Redwall Abbey, get on board with the latest installment, Outcast of Redwall. The outcast in question is Veil, a lost ferret raised by the Redwall clan. However, the mice are eventually forced to banish Veil. Then his father-the evil warlord Swartt Sixclaw-goes on a rampage against his enemy, the badger Sunflash. Who will Veil side with: our heroes of Redwall or his evil father?

Alice Cary is at work on biographies of Jean Craighead George and Katherine Paterson.
