Rakkety Tam

By: Brian Jacques

Narrated by: Brian Jacques, Full Cast

New York Times best-selling author Brian Jacques has millions of copies of his phenomenally popular Redwall series in print. Fans cannot get enough of the feasting, fighting, and fantastic adventures that fill every book.

A horrifying creature has landed on the shores of Mossflower country: Gulo the Savage, a wolverine who is known to devour his enemies' flesh. Gulo intends to kill his brother and seize a mighty relic known as the Walking Stone. But standing in Gulo's way is Redwall Abbey and a mercenary squirrel named Rakkety Tam MacBurl. Soon, the Mossflower woods are ringing with the glorious sound of battlecries, as an epic battle that tests the bonds of comradeship begins.

Thanks to the extraordinary vocal talents of a full cast of accomplished performers, joined by the author himself, each wondrous character is fully brought to life, and Rakkety Tam becomes a riveting listening experience that is not easily forgotten.

Critic reviews

"The colorful writing style, the strong cast of characters, and twisting plot will continue to delight fans of the series." (School Library Journal)

I have bought many accessories because of it.

I wanted to be a Scottish Warrior so bad I bought a Dirk and sing dubh and I enjoyed Sgt One will very much. One of my Redwall faves. Tavish MacTavish or Tim Thompson depending on if I have the Dirk.

Loved it!

My son and I really enjoyed listening to this book on a recent road trip. We love Brian Jacques' books, and his narration is just fantastic! Road trips go by so quickly when you can "read" a good book along the way too!

My favorite Redwall book!

I love this book. I have listened to to it more time than I care to admit and each time it gets better

Got to love the accents!

What did you love best about Rakkety Tam?

Lots of action, unexpected events, plus plenty of humor. The catchy tunes were a big plus too.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rakkety Tam & Doogy Plumm. Ah've always loved a Scottish accent, and these didnae disappoint. :) Loved all of the Long Patrol for similar reasons to that above; the accents really make the book.

Have you listened to any of Brian Jacques and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to Mossflower and to Taggerung. All had excellent casting, with the voices fitting the charactors just right.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Moved...probably not, but I listened and re-listened to several parts.

Amazing

my 13 year old boy loves the book.I think the beginning is sort of confusing with the ascents. A great story four a sick day
