"Taggerung" a continuation of Brian Jacques' epic saga, "Redwall". In this legend, Jacques raises the question of nature vs. nurture. The evil Sawney Rath vermin tribe has long awaited the coming of a great ruler to lead their clan, but when all signs point to an otter babe whoes origins are unknown, chaos soon ensues between the pirating vermin and good willed Redwallers as to Tagg's true nature.
I chose to review this book series, because it was one of my favorite series as a child. Redwall is an intriguing series that transports the reader to another world set in a time that feels like that of the days of King Arthur. This is a longer book for elementary kids to read, so it typically is enjoyed by more avid readers, but the plots could be enjoyed by all levels of readers in upper elementary school. The length of the novel could also be seen as a confidence booster, encouraging kids to tackle more difficult books. This is an adventure full of courage, honor, and legend; but perhaps the most important lesson that this novel teaches kids, is that appearances are not always what they seem. This is a great challenge book for kids, and the beginning of each chapter is crowned with an illustration, inviting the reader to make a prediction of the upcoming events in the chapter.
