false <![CDATA[Salamandastron (Redwall, #5)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165652099m/7983.jpg 7983 15 As the inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of the long, hot summer, they are unaware that the neighboring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin. Nor do they realize that Mara, beloved daughter of Urthsipe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. But when a lightening bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, young Samkin embarks on adventure that leads him to Mara, and their lives become inextricably entwined. <p> Brian Jacques once again strikes to the heart in this stunningly executed adventure, another in the best-selling Redwall series, proving, if indeed proof was needed, that he ranks high among the best children's authors in the world. His genius lies in his ability to capture character and atmosphere with a stroke of a pen, drawing the reader in until the only way to start breathing again is to finish the book. <I>--Susan Harrison</I> 551326 1992 Salamandastron (Redwall, #5) total:3331|5:996|4:1259|3:934|2:130|1:12| 3331 13090 4061 78 3 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Tue Jan 20 07:24:43 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 18:11:33 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Fri Jul 27 18:21:49 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 02:13:57 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 07:19:49 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 17:33:25 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:23:34 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:45:53 -0800 2009 Salamandastron offers:
