Review
The increasingly popular
Warrior series, based in the
forests of North America where four clans of feral cats fight to survive, launched in
2003 with
Into The Wild. Four years later there are now 13 books in the
series with more in the works. This begs the

read ever more about these brave cat clans! So, if you have a cat loving 9-12 year old in your life and have not yet discovered
Warriors, you probably should!
