Castaways and the Redwall Series

          Brian Jacques is famous for his Redwall series, which has received massive critical acclaim and has been atop the New York Times bestseller list on numerous occasions. In this book, Jacques tried a different approach by writing about people, rather than about animals that act like people. However, the book is still similar to books in the Redwall series, with elements such as witty, very English-sounding dialogue, a plethora of moderately important characters, and a quest involving items that ancestors have left behind. Readers can expect basically a Redwall novel with humans, rather than animals, as the main characters when they pick up this book.
