What is the best age to start reading Redwall?

[Jess]

Hi!  I loved these books as a kid and also as an adult.  What age do you thing would be appropriate to start reading Redwall?  I'm thinking about getting the books for my 10 year old nephew, what do you think?

10 sounds good to me! That's when I first read them.

[Jess]

Awesome, thanks!  I think that's when I started reading them too, but it's hard to remember...

It depends on how much you can handle. I would say 12 and up, because 12 is the middle school age and it's when kids are usually ready for detailed books. My opinion, of course, but it might help you.

I AM 10, and that's when I started reading 'em. Read Redwall and read all my teacher's books she had. Then went to library and got more.

Well it took me a while to learn to read, but when I did I took off.

I thought people would be surprised I'm 10, 'cause lots of adults are on here.

I'm still getting used to being an adult, but that's a completely different topic. I never read the Redwall books when I was ten because I was just starting to learn basic chapter books (Like The Magic Treehouse, etc) and I was obsessed with the Shrek, Scooby Doo, and Lilo and Stich movies before I found out about Brian's books. After those interests faded, I'm glad that I found the Redwall series.

Me too! Thank you Lord for letting me read Redwall!

Me too! Thank you Lord for letting me read Redwall!

Yes!

I LOVE Redwall!

It all depends on if you think your nephew is capable of understanding the words easily enough and if he is intrested in reading.

Yah, because I'm gifted in reading, so I can read these books, though I know lots of people in my class who couldn't.

I started them when I was 13 and wished I'd found them earlier.  I watched a couple episodes of the television show when I was seven until my dad thought it wasn't appropriate for my age and made me stop watching it, but I thought it was fine.  The book might have been a little above my reading level at that point, so I probably wouldn't have started reading it, but 10 sounds like a great age to start reading them.

hey,i loved the lilo and stitch movies too (i still do ),but,here in germany its not so popular as it should be,so i was nearly the only one who know the 2. and 3.   -and they´re the best ones ( Dr. Hämsterviel 4 ever!!!!!)

i started to read redwall when i was 8,but i think that was a bit early because i needet two -and-a-half week to finish mossflower 
so i think 10 is the perfect age to start because in this age you can understand the plot and the words
