I just finished the latest book that I've read from my shelves. It was Redwall by Brian Jacques. Mike has kept pushing me to read it, and although I am not into books about heroic mice and evil rats, I decided to give this book a try. It was surprisingly good, but I just kept thinking how great of a book it would be to read to your 10-year old kid (probably boys would enjoy it more than girls). It's a story about a humble mouse, Matthias, whose home is under attack by the evil Cluny the Scourge! He sets out on a journey to save the Redwall Abbey and seek out the sword of the mouse hero Martin the Warrior! He finds his strength by making friends along the way that are willing to help him that include the Basil Stag Hare, the sparrows, the shrews and cat. All of his hard work throughout his journey brought the animals closer together and created unity throughout the land of Mossflower. Again, I would definitely recommend this for boys ages 8-12, or just depending on their maturity with a little violence. It was a fun and fast read!About Me
- The MAAY Family
- Mike and I got married on January 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake City Temple. We met December 31, 2003 on New Years Eve, after his best friend invited him to a party. It was nearing midnight, and I had never kissed someone before on New Years Eve. He was sitting there all alone, in his University of Utah sweatshirt, and his Grizzlies backwards baseball cap, and he looked pretty cute. I asked him, "Hey, would you like to kiss at midnight?" He looked confused... Then he finally said, "Sure." I went over to him, and gave him a little peck (which apparently did not reach his lips, more like his chin...) and that was the start of it! We have a beautiful boy, Aiden, who will be two years old in June, and he is the joy of both our lives! We are both working, and we are currently living in Lehi, UT.We are a happy family and love doing things together.

I read the redwall series when my little sister was just starting elementary (I was trying to motivate her to read more by having a little competition, but with an enjoyable book). I really liked them, more than I thought I would. It's no Harry Potter I grant you, but they are still a good series.
