Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell's Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat's journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

Redwall book series

But I read them back when I was a kid. Not sure how it holds up to adult readers

Second for Redwall, but also I read those in middle school 20 years ago. They were some of my favorite books when I was 10-13 but I felt very grown up reading them because they deal with themes like love and loss and sacrifice.

Thanks, will check out some reviews to see if they hold up for adults. Or will just get them for my kid.

To be honest I can't recommend them highly enough

I absolutely tore through them when I was in grade school

I love reading about all the different species and their outlooks from Redwall Abbey

Thanks for the recommendation. With how much everyone seemed to like them, I think I'll just get first couple of books and see if I like them enough to continue.

There's also a TV series I just found out about.

I can't recommend it as I've never watched it.

But I will probably check it out. Nostalgia and everything etc etc

I'm 31. Not that it matters btw. Just remember reading this book series like crazy growing up.

Yeah, I saw it mentioned on Wikipedia when reading about the books. Didn't check the details though, as I was mainly interested in the books.
