We have really enjoyed the Green Ember but had never heard of Redwall. I spied it among the audiobooks at the library last week. My kids have never been so excited to go on car rides before, haha. They asked to sit in the car after we got home from church to keep listening, so I let them take it inside and they are reconstructing a lego version of the abbey while they listen. :) Thanks so much for the recommendation!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this review! My college-age students encouraged me to introduce Percy Jackson to my kids, but I was waiting for a more mature recommendation. :-) This is so helpful!
This is such a good and honest review. I love the book list you added at the end - N. D. Wilson also mixes myths with his stories, and I personally believe he does it better than Riordan did. While I enjoyed the Percy Jackson books on my first read-through (they had good humor and were a fun summer read), I wouldn't want any Middle Grader who hasn't been taught discernment to just jump right into them.

I am thrilled this was helpful to you! Whether you read Percy or don't, I hope this helps you enjoy books and discussion with your kids.
