Miscellaneous Rakkety Tam by Brian Jacques $23.99 / Penguin Books / 2004 "After belting his blades on, Tam hefted his shield and fixed the Sgian Dhu in his cap. 'Up ye come, Doogy Plumm, this is the life for us. Marching with real fighters who know what they're doin,' an, do it right!'" Author Brian Jacques could not have chosen better words to display the fearless Rakkey Tam MacBurl, the hero of Rakkety Tam, a young-adult book that transports readers to a make-believe world of sword fights, thieves, and an unfulfilled prophecy. Tam, along with his friend Wild Doogy Plumm, a Scottish borderer and a Highlander, have been ordered by their king and queen to track down a flag that was stolen by the evil Gulo. They have also come in search of Gulo's brothe rand the legendary Walking Stone, a mysterious artifact with a supposed special power. Little does Tam know, however, that by pursuing the flag, he just might have stumbled upon his destiny, for fortress Redwall has become Gulo's next target, and a cry for help from two maidens in the fortress convinces Tam where his duty lies. But what gives this tale an even deeper twist is that Tam and Doogy are squirrels and their friends and foes are also animals! Rich in plot and authentic Scottish culture, Rakkety Tam is an adventurous tale that will be enjoyed by young and old alike. —Natalie Hale
