Did you know that Erin Hunter isn't one person, but is actually FOUR women?  You can find out more about them on the Warriors website!

The Cats of the prophecy have returned from their journey to find their clans in a terrible state.  They start the journey again with their clans.  This time, they are led by the cats of the prophecy, Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw of Thunderclan, Crowfeather of Windclan, Stormfur and his sister's spirit of Riverclan, and Tawnypelt of Shadowclan.  They lost some cats on the journey, but they make it.  They find the tribe cats again and Crowpaw becomes Crowfeather.

I really love the Warriors series.  I keep reading the next book in the series.  I love that they have clans and they get to fight.  I like the characters, except I think Leafpaw is weird.  She's always like, "Oh my gosh, what's going to happen?  Ahhh!"  I do really like Squirrelpaw.  She's just awesome.  She very reckless and very persistent.  I'll probably keep reading this series until "Erin" stops writing these books!  I think if you like adventure and fantasy, you will like them too!

A Note to Parents:  There is some violence between the clans in the Warriors books.  Sometimes there is mention of blood, but nothing very graphic.  Also, I found this great article from a dad who was tired of not knowing what his daughter was talking about when she wanted to discuss Warriors, the Warrior code, and various other things he had no idea about.  So go check out this Parents Guide to Warrior Cats!
