The book I am currently reading is called Mariel of Redwall.  It is the fourth book of the Redwall series by Brian Jaques.  The series is mainly about Redwall, a big abbey, and all the creatures who live there.  I really like this book.  It is about a mouse who who was thrown off a ship into the ocean during a storm and when she washes up on the shore she doesnt remember anything and all she has is a rope.  She discovers some fresh water and starts drinking it but some bullfrogs come and tell her to leave.  She doesnt, so they attack and she uses her rope as a weapon, but there is still no way for her to win by herself.  Then she is rescued by some rabbits who take her to an old squirrels home.  She is fed, and then the old squirrel agrees to take her to Redwall, but the squirrel and the mousemaid get in a quarrel and end up being separated which means that Mariel will have to find Redwall by herself.  She ends up meeting up with another rabbit who is also traveling to Redwall.  Eventually they get there and are warmly welcomed by the peaceful abbey dwellers.  It takes Mariel a while to get used to normal life but at where I am in the book she is finally starting to act normal instead of hitting everyone with her rope.  I am excited to see what happens next in this story.
