Warriors

Todat is the day I do my book of the week! I was going to do it about a book called 'Silver Child' by Cliff McNish, but my obsessed friend ordered me to read the book she was addicted to and when I did, I loved it. The book is called 'Warriors' by Erin Hunter. It's about cats who live in the wild in clans. That makes it sound stupid but it's really terrific. The way she describes the cat's movement, their fluidity, is amazing. She describes the way they hunt as though she was a cat. I honestly like the way she made all the cats have special names and traditions. Any way, the book is about a house cat named Rusty who is recruited to join the Thunderclan. He begins to train as a warrior. The Thunderclan is recriuting as many warriors as they can to defend themselves against the Shadowclan, another group of cats who pushed the Windclan out of their hunting areas. Rusty, re-named Firepaw, is determined to be the best Thunderclan member he can be. I like this book because Erin Hunter describes fighting and moving and hunting so well. Even though she describes them eating mice and birds, you feel like they're just eating potato chips. I feel like I am a cat walking in Firepaw's pawprints. She gives the book so many twists and makes it enjoyable. I think that 'Warriors' by Erin Hunter is a must read.(Note:It's hard to find the first book. The first book is called Into the Wild. At the end, you can find the next three books listed. That should get you started.) This is J.E., signing off.
