Outcast of Redwall
By: Brian Jacques

Summary: Sunflash the Mace, son of Bella of Brockhall(from Mossflower), is enslaved by Swartt Sixclaw, an evil ferret with a deformed sixclawed paw. But with the help of his new found friend, Skarlath the Kestrel, he escapes from Swartt and goes on many adventures in route to his destiny at Salamandastron. Meanwhile, Swartt has heard of a newly built abbey in Mossflower Woods called Redwall. In route to Redwall, Swartt abandons his only son and the Redwallers discover him. The Redwallers raise this ferret child, whom they name Veil, but there is still Swartt's evil in his blood. Now, Veil has an important decision to make. Will he turn his back on the ones who took him in as one of their own, or does he fight against his own father?

Personal Notes: Good plot, good character development.
