I've just started reading  a series called Redwall,
about mice and such. The first book Redwall is about
these warrior rats comming to take over Redwall Abbey,
and one of the rat in the story os called Wormtail and
he just lost his paw in an accident. The books are by
Brian Jacques and are compared to Watership down,
found in the kiddies section of the library and were
published starting in 1986. \
