If you like action and mystery, with a lil romance... You might like the redwall series by brian jaque(i belive thats how you spell his name) its about animals that act like us...but in the mid evil times with swords and shields....
But whats sad is my English teacher said this book is too hard for her :\ |

actually his name is spelled Brian Jacques.
how would i know? I have read all of his Redwall Series and I LOVED IT!!! it's not what you would expect in a book, but at the same time it has some of the qualities. I would also recommend his books to anyone. |

 An english teacher said a Redwall book was too hard for her???!!!  This is not how things are supposed to be!If you want another good series to start, you might enjoy the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card. I am sure that you are up to the intellectual level of the series, even if your english teacher isn't! |

WHOA, that is sad about your English Teacher!! In my local library all the Brian Jacques books are found in the kid's section...
But anyways, I like his books.  I think I've read one or two, but I don't remember which ones they were. One of them was about Matthias and his discovering that Martin had left a kind of code for him to follow... It's been a while since I've read it, but hopefully you all know what I'm talking about

If you like detective novels with witty, resourceful heroines and good plots definitely check out Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. It kept me laughing for hours. Almost like Harry Potter but for college people.

When I first tried reading "Redwall," I did find it a bit difficult to read because I wasn't used to people reading or speaking like that. Then after the first 10 pages it became much easier to read.

I love the Redawall series of books,I remember looking threw the fantasy Ilse of the book store and seeing Marlfox it was the first book I read and now I love the the series.Granted it can be a little hard read the part with mole talk are almost unreadable and british terms are a little confusing.I don't think it hard read unless your ready to ready read chapter books but then again harry potter book can be 30 chapters and people seem to have to problem reading those.
