Were you a warrior cats kid, a guardians of ga’hoole owl kid, or a redwall kid growing up?

i feel like the year that i stopped buying redwall books from the book fair and i stopped playing pokemon in the library was the year in which school stopped being any fun

I guess I'll be the only Ga'Hoole supporter here. Never read Redwall, because owls are better than rats.
Ga'Hoole got really violent and dark at times: child enslavement and brainwashing, animals getting their throats cut and hearts torn out, it really caught me off guard at times.

Ga'Hoole and Redwall, they were both amazing series, but I prefer Redwall. One of my elementary schools had a signed book from Brian Jacques just sitting in the library....
I guess I'm one of the few in the Warriors camp? I love cats a lot and the series has some good points, though it's really nothing special. The sheer number of characters is a bit headache inducing, but it makes up for it with a cool balance of mysticism, drama, and survival.
Yeah the guy was great at writing about food. Not too mention those books could get incredibly brutal for children's novels
Wrong, I was all three. Every month when the Scholastic book order came I out I put all of my allowance in to one of these each.
Redwall was my jam in middle school. I picked up a copy for my daughter and she couldn't be less interested :'(
I'm mainly a Redwall kid. Although I had the second Ga'Hoole book too, which got me made fun of in my class by kids reading the literary equivalent of Tyler Perry movies instead. Well, my series actually got turned into a film, so who's laughing now, you fuckin' bitches?

Ga'Hoole, I think in school sometime we were made to read the first book and it just stuck. That series got pretty weird and edgy as it went on IIRC.
All of the above here.
I think I remember reading, maybe in the back of one of the books, that he spent a lot of his life working with the blind and deaf, so he went to great lengths to add as much detail to his descriptions of food as possible for those kids.
I wouldn't be bragging about Zack Snyder forever cementing Ga'Hoole being in the dust bin of Hollywood.
At least Redwalls got a chance at a good movie.
I can't give you any names if you held a gun to my head. All I know is that they were dime store black domestic dramas whose synopses frequently featured spousal abuse and that kind of thing.
I didn't think Ga'Hoole was a bad film though.
Also, who even has the rights to a Redwall movie now? It's been tossed around for years but it's gone nowhere. =/
When I was a kid it was more stuff like Bridge to Terabithia or The BFG that was popular. Once we got a little older Tolkien and Richard Adams got more popular.
Redwall but I only read two of the books. The Guardians movie was good though. When that came out it was the first time I found out the series existed.
My daughter is 12 and read warrior cats. Twelve. You would have to currently be 15-years-old to be a "warrior cats kid".
According to another thread, ERA is all old folks. Hah.
Just going to point out if someone ever made a Redwall movie and made it accurate to the books it would be as violent as Watership Down and then some. You've got gigantic battles were little furry creatures are hacking each other to bloody chunks in some pretty graphic detail for books aimed at kids. That in between furry animals stuffing their faces with feasts full of delicious food.
There is an age divide for sure. Redwall predated Ga'Hoole and Warriors.
I was a Junior in High School by the time Ga'Hoole and Warriors published their first books. Redwall was being published until 2011 though so there is overlap.
I was more a Blue Barracudas kinda guy.
Why not both? Give yourself goosebumps. Reader beware, you choose the scare.
I never could find the happy ending on the vampire one. Well actually I found it by looking at every single page, but I could never find the path that lead there...

Redwall all day. Those books were fucking great. Martin The Warrior was my favorite.
Brian Jacques had a real knack for describing food, that's for damn sure. Every time I read a Redwall book as a kid I'd end up having a craving for some scones halfway through lmao.
