Christopher Ting’s Reviews > Lord Brocktree > Status Update

I would give advice to Lord Brocktree in order to prevent his death at the end of the book and save all the mice. I would tell Lord Brocktree not to plan an attack on the mice because the mice are supporting him and that he will die if he does so. I would convince him to be more forgiving of the mice, so hopefully he will have change of heart and will not tell the other badgers to attack the mice.

In Lord Brocktree, all of the mice/rodents have their own social class and everyone does something to help the 4 kingdoms. Mice are considered elite and only they can become kings. There are laws when it comes to mice/rodents crossing the wall that protects the kingdom from the wildcats. Only soldiers, those who have permission from the king, and messengers can cross the wall. The story has many medieval elements.

The genre of Lord Brocktree by Brian Jacques is fantasy. Lord Brocktree takes place in a kingdom called Sandamandastron which is run by mice. There are wild cats that are plotting to raid Salamandastron. The Chosen One has to defeat the wild cats and defend Salamandastron for the mice.
