The only Brian Jacques books I've read are the Redwall series and the Castaways Series, so I'm going with Voyage of Slaves.

Seeing as the Ribbajack is the only one that I've read it has to be my favorite! ;D
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

The First Castaways was literally one of the best books I have ever read, so that one for sure. I am still getting around to Angel's Command, but I hope it is as good or even better.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

The Angel's command is way better!
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

I just finished Voyage of Slaves on audiobook. The first time I read the story was years ago but I'm glad I tried this out - it was like experiencing the story anew all over again! I don't want to give too much away and spoil it, but there are some really cool moments in this one! Ben and Ned go through a whole lot of trouble to get where they want.

A close second would have to be The Angels Command with the mystery of Adamo, the escape from the Razaan in the coolest way possible, and all that good stuff!

I've read castaways. It is a really good book. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. It's nice to see something different coming from the same author. Castaways was a good book because it's got some industrial stuff in there. :)
