Product Description
From Amazon
On the Isle of Sampetra, Emperor Ubla, better known as Mad Eyes, sends his lizard army on a mission to capture Redwall. Meanwhile the inhabitants of Redwall are on a mission of their own--to solve the six fiendishly difficult riddles that will lead them to the rose-colored gems, the Pearls of Lutra. As they get closer to solving to riddles, the lizards get closer to Redwall and a battle to the death begins.
One of the excellent fantasy adventure series about the mystical Redwall, Pearls of Lutra is a magical, mind-blowing adventure that never disappoints. Brian Jacques expertly weaves his web of intrigue through the pages, capturing the imagination with a stroke of a pen as if he were a wizard with a wand. Challenging, colorful, and, most importantly, readable to the point of addiction, The Pearls of Lutra is an absolute must. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
From Publishers Weekly
In this hybrid mystery/adventure, the latest Redwall saga, six beautiful pearls are hidden in Redwall Abbey. A marauding mob of corsairs seeking the jewels kidnaps the Abbot as a bargaining chip, thereby setting the plot off in two distinct directions. In one, the denizens of the Abbey, led by the young hedgehog Tansy, must solve a series of riddles to find the pearls; theirs is a fun- and food-laden search that harks back to a similar hunt in the series opener, Redwall. Chapters of this quest alternate with a more epic tale, as the warrior mouse Martin leads a small band on a great chase across the open sea to rescue the Abbot. After an intriguing meeting with "sealfolk," the rescuers snatch the Abbot off an island in a bloody-and implausible-battle with the corsairs. The triumphant return of Martin and his cohorts diminishes the importance of the hunt for the pearls, a disappointing loose end; in Redwall, Matthias puts the sword he has quested after to good use. The pearls do allow Tansy, one of a number of strong female characters in key roles, the chance to prove that she is fit to be the first Abbess-but only by throwing them away. The incomplete meshing of the two story lines, and the recycling of a plot from a previous installment, suggest that even though there is plenty of adventure left, this well-loved series may finally be running out of steam. Ages 6-up.

Best Book EVER,
By Patrick Beerman (Buckley, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pearls of Lutra (School & Library Binding)
I've read this book about 25 times. I'm 13 and have only been reading Brain Jacques's books for a year and I've already read his series twice! This is my favorite because its packed with loads of adventure and the fight against evil. Best Book EVER!

By A Customer
This review is from: Pearls of Lutra (Paperback)
The Pearls of Lutra is a really great novel. I loved that there are lots of riddles that the Redwallers have to solve. This is my favourite book in the entire Redwall series. Another jewel in Brian Jacques' crown.

Exciting ,Awesome and Deliciously Frightening.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pearls of Lutra (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very good book. The plot is very intriguing and always keeps you hooked. It's hard to put down once you start it. Even if you haven't read any other Redwall books,this one is easy to understand and fun to read. Brian Jacques has given us a new character, The Emperor. You wouldn't believe how crazy the Emperor is! I recommend this book for ages 8 and up.
