MARIEL OF REDWALL By Brian Jacques

In the 4th installment of the Redwall series, the main character is Mariel, son of Joseph the Bellmaker. While Joseph is delivering a great bronze bell to the Badger Mountain of Salamandastron, his ship is intercepted by Sea rats and he is captured. His daughter, Mariel, is thrown overboard and left to die. Luckily, she finds a piece of driftwood to cling on to and floats to land. Armed with a thick rope knotted at the end, she enters the world of Redwall, dubbing herself Storm and her weapon Gullwhacker. She vows to rescue her father and overthrow the cruel sea rats that stole the bell and her father. One last thing you should remember- all the characters are animals, and Mariel is a mouse!
