The Bellmaker
The Bellmaker is written by Brian Jaques and is the seventh book in the Redwall series. The Bellmaker is about Joseph the Bellmaker. His daughter, Mariel and her friend Dandin the mouse have been gone from Redwall Abbey for four seasons and he is starting to get worried about them. Then, Joseph has a dream from Martin the Warrior, founder of the Abbey, telling Joseph to go and search for his daughter, telling him where she would be. In Joseph's dream, Martin tells him that four others should go with him, Durry the hedgehog, kepper of the cellars in Redwall, Rufe Brush the squirrel, Bell ringer for the Abbey, Foremole, leader of all the moles in Redwall and Hon. Rosie, former scout of the Long Patrol. Together with the Guosim shrews (Guerrilla Union Of Shrews In Mossflower) leaves on the ship The Pearl Queen, Captained by the sea otter Finnbarr Galedeep, where they get more than they bargained for, getting chased by pirates, attacked by a shark, get caught in a storm where Rosie and Durry almost get killed and they almost get swept into a giant whirlpool! And they still had not found Mariel and Dandin! The Bellmaker is my favorite book in the Redwall Series and I hope you enjoy it to.
