(4) 4-6 Eaglesmount Trilogy series. Illustrated by David Wyatt. This concluding volume in the trilogy brings Vair, the heroic pine marten, and his friends into conflict with the evil Lord Owl, only to discover an even greater danger waiting at Owlswater. There's little character depth but enough satisfying adventure to entertain readers not yet ready for Redwall. Serviceable black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.

(4) 4-6 Eaglesmount Trilogy series. Illustrated by David Wyatt. This solid animal story focuses on Vair, a young pine marten who must find his family, escape the evil fox Ragnar, and try to keep the silver horn away from Ragnar and the hypnotically evil Lord Owl. The conclusion of this volume leaves room for its forthcoming sequels. While predictable and lacking the distinction of Brian Jacques's Redwall series, this is an entertaining fantasy.
