Warriors: Into the Wild: Book Recommendation

Warriors: Into the Wild

     I think people who like cats and adventure. During this book Rusty becomes an outdoor cat instead of being an indoor cat. This cat adventures into the territory of mean cats part of clans. He also learns to share and care for what you have. This book would be great to read if you like fantasy. This book also shows what important for survival and what is important so animals can live in peace.

This website is the official website of the Warriors series. The author has a summary and other things on this website for each day. There are tons of fun games and things to help learn about the whole series.

This is not an official video of the authors but its pretty close to what happens in the book. The recommendations are highly. It is very cool to look at a different view other than reading. It is nice to see what they might look like then go back through the books and you get more detail out of it. :D

The Untold Stories

Untold Story
By: Erin Hunter
The main characters of this book are Mistystar, Hollyleaf and Cloudstar. There are 3 stories in one. The first story is about Hollyleaf who goes in the tunnels after killing her clanmate, Ashfur. Hollyleaf is a dark tabby cat that is injured in a cold cave. Fallenleaves has lived in the tunnels and has helped Hollyleaf with her injury from the rock fall that trapped her in the caves. After sometime she has learned every route of the caves and has adjusted to the darkness and has learned to catch fish in the underground river. She has also learned to sense where cats are in the tunnel by the sound of their paws and the smell of them.

The  next story is Mistystar's story. Mistystar is a sleek cat with a grey pelt that looks like silver in the moonlight. Leapordstar has died because a sickness and the lack of food in the rivers. In the ancient way deputies have to become the leaders of the clan once their leader has died or retired. In the sadness of the death of some elders and their leader, Mistystar has become the new leader and in the trouble of loss of food. She is troubled and needs help from Starclan and realizes her friend doesn't believe in them when she is the Medicine cat.

The last story was about Cloudstar and the struggle to live in the forest with all clans. Cloudstar is the leader of Skyclan and has a mate named with Birdflight that is soon going to have 2 kits that will be the live of Cloudstar's life. The food is shortening because of twolegs building houses on their land. Cloudstar urges his clan to stay calm and stay strong. He urges them to take back the land they gave to Thunderclan and will lose the battle.

The setting in this book are in the tunnels under a land filled with cats that live in clans. Hollyleaf a cat from Thunderclan has told a secret that ruined the life of her mother Leafpool the medicine cat and her sister Squirrelflight who pretended to be her mother in order to protect her sisters "crime" in order to stay in the clan.(Medicine cats can not have kits and no cat can have a mate in another clan, This is the Warrior code.)

My book: Suntrail

Warriors: Sun Trail
By: Erin Hunter
The character I chose for this book is the main character is Gray Wing. He is strong willed and has a great heart. This cat is a member of a tribe that lives in the mountains they hunt for food and live in a cave behind a waterfall. The tribe was running out of food and a group of cats were going to venture away from the mountains to find a better home so they can find food. Gray Wing's younger brother wanted to go with the group but he was too young. Jagged Peak ventured after them late night to follow the group of cats. Gray Wing worried for his little brother followed his scent and saved him from eagles. They were too far away from their homes so they kept on going to find the group of cats. Gray Wing finds the cats and hopefully he'll find their new home.

This video is a little like this book but the Warriors: Into The Wild is a different series than Warriors: The Sun Trail. Gray Wing is a cat from the mountains who died before any of the other cats were born in the book Into The Wild. This video is the same concept of The Sun Trail but different characters.

Read this article to see what the cats find and what they have to face in order to find their new home.1`
