Welcome to the YA Graveyard!

YAG is for grown-up readers and writers, each month we’ll unearth a classic YA book to discuss its strengths and what we can learn.

Nov. 2024 - "Redwall" by Brian Jacques
New books announced monthly on second Sunday
In Book 1 we see animals such as mice, badgers, & birds are sentient, with cultures & values, while smaller creatures like snails remain wild.
This balance of intelligence & nature creates a layered ecosystem, blending realism with anthropomorphic storytelling.

In Book 1 we find the Abbey, that symbolizes peace and community, modeled after monastic traditions. While no explicit religion is present, the values of kindness and harmony reflect universal morals. The red sandstone evokes history and protection.

📚👀 “Redwall” is divided into 3 books—The Wall, The Quest, and The Warrior—which mirror key stages of the Hero’s Journey. This structure guides Matthias from a young dreamer to a warrior as he faces challenges, finds allies, and rises to protect Redwall.
