Helpful Score: 1

The beauty of Redwall stories is that they have a strong exciting adventure in a moral context with none of the witchcraft and wizardry that some people object to in other fantasy literature. They make excellent reading for children from 11 to 13. Other than Martin the warrior and Mossflower they tend to be a bit canned because all the others are at heart stories about how Redwall Abbey thrives and prospers un-endingly. We rarely suspend expectation as to whether the good guys will win and evil will cease to prosper. But for the kids at the right stage, the stage before their tastes mature to more serious literature, beyond the world of 'chapter books', the Legend of Luke, like the rest of Redwall, is a good read.
